Earlier today, Latino Rebels received an email from Alex Martínez, a founding member of the Chicago Bulldogs men’s hockey team. In the email, Martinez shared two links from the Bulldogs site. The first one (full story here) reported that on “February 10th, 2015, Bob Moretti who plays for the Ice Bison at the Fox Valley […]

So a few days ago, Robert Downey Jr. said this during a Guardian interview about a comment Oscar-winning director Alejandro González Iñárritu made last year about superhero movies. Looks like we have to play this once again tonight.

Earlier today, we gave our first 2015 #CincoDeFallo Award to American Eagle. Tonight, our next #CincoDeFallo goes to Nylon, after our friends at Remezcla shared the following tweet and wrote more about it here. Facepalm Alert: Nylon is Selling a “Cinco de Mayo” Clothing Collection http://t.co/jGINDQSBry pic.twitter.com/tDOrOJsHps — REMEZCLA (@REMEZCLA) April 27, 2015 And yes, […]

This story from Iowa comes from our friends at HuffPost Latino Voices. Seriously, dude? (The original story was first posted on ThePerryNews.com)

It’s not even May, yet with Cinco de Mayo less than two weeks ago, the #CincoDeFallo Awards are already happening. You would think that after last year, things would change, but come on, you knew that wasn’t going to happen. Case in point… @AEO im not amused w/ your appropriation of MY holiday for profit. […]

The following video, posted two days ago on Facebook, has already gotten over five million views, 74,000 likes and 124,000 shares. It is about 17 seconds long, and it shows a flour tortilla on a record player as “Jarabe Tapatío” (perhaps the most overplayed Mexican song ever) plays on.   What a tortilla sounds like […]

The following video was posted yesterday by the fabulous @Blabbeando. It shows Hipólito Mejía, President of the Dominican Republic from 2000–2004, talking at an event in New Jersey this month. As @Blabbeando writes: Standing before a campaign flag that promises “equality,” Mejía doesn’t mention same-sex marriage but jokes that his campaign handlers wanted him to […]

After facing intense critcism for a series of questions he made towards Chicago mayoral candidate Chuy García Tuesday night during a “Chicago Tonight” candidates debate, WTTW Phil Ponce admitted to columnist John Kass of The Chicago Tribune the he messed up. Here is the lengthy quote Kass published in his column today from a phone […]

UPDATE, April 2, 8:30am ET: Ponce told The Chicago Tribune’s John Kass that he messed up big time. In case you missed this last night from Chicago, here is what WTTW’s Phil Ponce asked Chicago mayoral candidate Chuy García during a “Chicago Tonight” debate. Ponce’s questions even got Mayor Rahm Emanuel to step in and […]

And you thought this was all going away? As reported by Mediaite with additional commentary from America’s Voice, the following is a series of videos showing how certain “patriots” addressed Rep. Luis Gutiérrez at a recent town hall meeting in California. Here is the first video: “This was an event held at USC that was […]

Perhaps it was just a matter of time. Perhaps it was merely the representation of an old Hollywood system waking up to a new and cumbersome reality. Perhaps it was just pissed-off entitlement ready to take a massive media White Flight. Whatever it was, earlier this week Deadline marked its official and unequivocal demise as […]

Leave it to The Economist for reminded us all that they are clueless. For an article about the rise of U.S. Latinos, this is the cover the magazine has for one of its editions. No worries, they have a China one, too. This week we have two different regional versions of our cover March 14th […]

The following video is of poor quality but it shows Rodner Figueroa on “El Gordo y La Flaca” describing Michelle Obama’s physical features as being from the cast of the movie Planet of the Apes (El planeta de los simios in Spanish). Univision confirmed today via a statement to Latino Rebels that Figueroa has been […]

Yesterday, this happened on The Real. Three of the show’s hosts (Tamera Mowry-Housley, Jeannie Mai and Loni Love) decided to cook quesadillas dressed up like this: Last night, the Twitter profile of Mowry-Housley tweeted this (the tweet is no longer on Twitter): I’ll start there because Mowry-Housley’s deleted tweet is the only acknowledgement I have seen […]

By now you may have already seen perhaps one of the most overtly bad stereotype moments of 2015. Earlier today The Real talk show thought dressing up its hosts in sarapes, sombreros and mustaches while doing a cooking bit about quesadillas would be funny. It wasn’t even close. All you need to do is check […]

So this weekend, our friend Dawn Page had a chance to ask Sean Penn about the “green card” joke a few weeks ago during the Oscars. After a long and rather privileged response, Sean closed with the following, “I don’t give a fuck about all this.” Seriously, Sean, a little humility instead of a typically […]

I remember the first time I heard of Dr. Ben Carson. I listened to him speak and I thought to myself, “Now that’s a man who I can back in politics.” His demeanor was very calm and he appeared quite logical. You would expect this from a man who performed brain surgeries for a living. […]

Remember a few weeks ago when a University of Texas fraternity’s “border patrol” party led to a letter of concern from UT students? According to local reports out of UT, university officials see no problem with the party and the Fiji frat won’t face any penalties or punishment from the school: Texas Fiji’s “border patrol” […]

Earlier today, one of our Twitter followers sent us this tweet: Roswell, NM newspaper publishes cartoon this week suggesting Blacks and Latinos leave town: http://t.co/54P6CoMn6d — Mónica Ortiz Uribe (@MOrtizUribe) February 18, 2015 So we clicked on the link, which took us to the site of the Roswell Daily Record and this editorial cartoon: That […]

The United States of America, my home, has a working relationship with my ancestral home, Puerto Rico. For better or worse, the relationship exists. I understand that there are arguments on both sides of the coin. There are those that favor the Commonwealth and statehood, while others want a completely independent Puerto Rico. This domain […]

So last night’s Powerball drawing had three big winners: one in North Carolina, one in Texas and one in Puerto Rico. As you might expect, news of the Puerto Rico winner is getting the ignorant few a bit testy this morning. First up, one of our Rebeldes of El Paso told us that KLAQ’s Lisa […]
