"George Will's column makes the case to why mainstream media needs Latino opinion columnists and network political pundits" by Marisa Trevino of Latinalista.net.

LatinaLista.net -- If it weren't for the fact that the columnist George Will is held in such high esteem by The Washington Post or ABC News, I wouldn't even comment on Mr. Will's latest column where he applauds Arizona's SB 1070 and buys into Governor Brewer's statement that the law will be enforced "evenly." Will compares this equal treatment under the law as being the same as when everyone is screened at the airport.

Because the nation thinks as Brewer does, airport passenger screeners wand Norwegian grandmothers. This is an acceptable, even admirable, homage to the virtue of "evenness" as we seek to deter violence by a few, mostly Middle Eastern, young men.

Who Wants to be a Maid? Hollywood Stereotypes Continue-LatinoLA

I was very excited when I received a message from my Agent that I was to audition for a new pilot. That is, until I received the one-page script.

Can we say stereotype? And as if that wasn't bad enough, part of the dialogue had this character say "Meester" not Mister and "yob" instead of job. Wow, is this 1948 or 2010?
