Continuing the long-standing tradition of racist parties celebrated at Greek organizations at Penn State, Cal State San Marcos, Cal State Fullerton, USC, Columbia, Baylor and Duke, yet another “border patrol” party, this time at the University of Texas, has led to an open petition from UT students. UT fraternity thinks it's funny to throw 'border patrol' themed […]

We could school Alabama Rep. Mo Brooks (R) about what he said this morning on talk radio, but Think Progress already did. But, hey, you HAVE to blame someone. Listen.

You have to give it up to our friend Laura Martínez of Mi blog es tu blog. Last night, Laura found this ridiculous gem, an actual tweet from the Twitter account of Harvard Business Review: As you might imagine, huh? ¿Qué qué? @julito77 @miblogestublog @HarvardBiz They needed a photo of people asleep while sitting. We […]

Facebook. There was a time when the social media behemoth actually was a fun place. Now it seems that it is more like a utility company: it might not be that exciting, you have to pay if you really want to play, but you still can’t live without it. We do remember when Facebook had […]

Why is Rick Santorum back? Time to blame the immigrants! They’re taking our jobs! We’re all losing money all because of all these immigrants! (This was disproven before.) Here we go again. This was Santorum on CNN yesterday. Quick thing: didn’t Santorum’s own flipping family arrive in the United States in that previous “great wave” […]

Last night Deadspin posted a Vine showing Showtime’s Jim Gray about to interview Albuquerque native Fidel Maldonado, a Mexican American boxer who lost his fight to Amir Imam. As the Vine shows, Gray asked Maldonado a question but then turned to his trainer first, who said, “He speaks English.” That was awkward. By the way, […]

As expected, the crazy just got crazier in the controversy surrounding The Santa Barbara News-Press and how its xenophobic “journalism.” Taking a cue from the paper’s story last week —which blatantly implied that people who protested the newspaper last Thursday and left “The Border Is Illegal Not The People Who Cross It” graffiti on the […]

Who knew that the following image from the front page of The Santa Barbara News-Press tweeted to us by @ChipsterLife on January 4 would lead to the story winding up in outlets such as the LA Times and FOX News? But that is exactly what happened this week after there was a protest Thursday night […]

Guess it’s 2015 and using the word “illegals” as a noun is back in vogue again. Latest example comes from Rasmussen Reports, a conservative polling group that pretends to be fair and unbiased. Yeah, right. This is a screen grab of the email digest the group sent today: Click on that and you get to […]

Chuckle, chuckle, oh these witty comedy sites. Take the example of the latest “satire” written by Janet Eve Josselyn for the Points in Case site. Josselyn —who calls Dover, Massachusetts, her home (you should know that Dover is one really white and rich town)— decided to get all “witty” with her “humor” in a piece called […]

It’s 2015 and do you know where your latest xenophobia is coming from? The Santa Barbara News-Press, which has been around since 1855. Earlier today @ChipsterLife tweeted us the following image from the newspaper’s Saturday edition: We shared the image on our Twitter, Facebook and Tumblr. Not surprisingly, people reacted. The photo went viral so […]

You have to be f-ing kidding us. Is it that hard to get ONE comedy writer who knows what they’re talking about? Exhibit A: this is what bad stereotypical comedy is all about, especially when you have just a few days to write a sketch. Welcome to mediocrity, SNL. Your Cuba skit sucked. Enough said.

Just when you think editorial cartoonists from U.S. newspapers would have taken a pause after the Indy Star debacle last weekend, we present this week’s latest Immigration Ignorance entry from Rick McKee of the Augusta Chronicle. A fan was reading the Sunday edition of the Press-Telegram (a Long Beach, California newspaper), when she snapped McKee’s […]

There were a lot of skeptics this past summer when Glenn Beck and The Blaze made an emotional plea to help the growing number of unaccompanied minors at the U.S.-Mexico border? Yeah, it felt like a bit too much. No way Beck and The Blaze would ever stick to that narrative, right? Exactly. Because in […]

So this happened this week. A public Facebook post is calling attention to what Mucho Burrito, a Mexican fast food company based in Canada, decided to promote. This is what Tania Aguila-Way posted on November 25: Soooo… Mucho Burrito has done it again. Their latest promotional materials make use of one of the most hurtful […]

Last night on the floor of the Senate, Louisiana’s Mary Landrieu gave her final pitch to get the Keystone XL passed. The embattled Democratic senator is trying really hard to make sure she is re-elected, but her efforts to get Keystone through the Senate failed. During her speech, the Democrat (yes, Democrat) said this. Hooray! […]

Ok, we don’t want to just sit here and judge what has been going on through Sammy Sosa’s cabeza in the last five years, but before we completely contradict ourselves and indeed judge, we will say this: in 1998, the year we thought baseball was more of an innocent sport than the drug-fueled fraud it […]

UPDATE: Mediaite has now posted clips of Cuomo’s words after we shared the transcript and wrote our story. Seeing it on the air is even worse. Let’s just say this: If Cuomo thinks that he gave an apology, we have a bridge to sell to him. Before you continue reading this, let’s get one thing […]

Looks like that little story from Colorado about an “Illegal Pete’s” restaurant opening in Fort Collins has turned into a big deal for restaurant chain owner Pete Turner and the local group that asked him to change the name. Seriously, the story made Fox News today. Here’s what happened. This past Wednesday, Turner wrote one very […]

We take a moment to let everyone know that people spend real time and money to produce these political videos. You know, because… those “illegals.” First up, this video has one real dramatic voiceover. Next, NumbersUSA. Yes, this is real. But the commercial is confusing. It says “immigrants” at one point then says “legal immigrants?” […]

Sephora University was created by the global cosmetics store to “transform each employee into a genuine Brand Ambassador and guide them through their careers.” Recently, an internal document obtained by Latino Rebels and branded by Sephora University was shared with Sephora employees. It shows a step-by-step makeup guide for employees to celebrate Día de los […]
