This came from a Facebook friend, who gave us a link from local media in Oaxaca, México. Apparently Aeroméxico employees on a flight from Oaxaca to Ciudad Hermosillo did not allow for several passengers to board the flight because they were dressed in indigenous clothing. Yeah, that is what we said. Here is a translation […]

We couldn’t believe it until we saw the local news from Nevada: This is what one local paper is reporting: Jim Wheeler, a Republican from Gardnerville, was talking to a crowd of Storey County Republicans in August he when said “yeah I would” vote for slavery if that’s what his constituents wanted. “If that’s what […]

They formed a Facebook page called “Cougs Against the ‘Cougador’”. They asked the Washington State Athletic Director to reconsider his decision to hand out Mexican lucha libre-themed masks at a football game, and got this answer: So with little options left, what did a WSU’s Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlán (M.E.Ch.A) do when fellow WSU […]

Halloween is a chance to break the routine. Parents who would typically not allow their kids to eat candy let them have a free-for-all for sugar. Children, teens, and young adults have a respite from everyday identities by becoming vampires, cats, and nurses. Halloween is a chance to try out a different identity than your […]

Come on, people. As reported by The Hill: “CNBC reporter Steve Liesman on Tuesday asked for Mexican music to be played when he and his colleagues talked about Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas).” Watch. This just needs to stop. Don’t you all know that Cruz is Canadian? But seriously, Cruz is of Cuban descent. And yes, […]

This whole story started when The Oatmeal published a piece over the weekend basically letting everyone know that Christopher Columbus wasn’t the most humane guy in history (not a surprise), and that more attention should be paid to Bartolomé de las Casas, who according to the piece, was “considered to be one of the first […]

We really thought that the silliness of pandering for Hispanic Heritage Month would go away, but apparently not. Move over, FOX News, there’s a new #NoMames candidate for dumbness. Underwear. A post from Queerty.com explains: Today, October 15, marks the end of Hispanic Heritage month in the U.S. The month, which actually falls in between […]

This is from the local pages the Sandusky Register in Ohio: Margaretta Schools officials punished a high school student Friday after he made a controversial remark as a play-by-play commentator at a seventh-grade football game. The boy, 15, has received several threats in person and online regarding the incident, prompting his parents to file a […]

Washington “Redskins” owner Dan Snyder released an open letter Wednesday vigorously defending his team’s name, which many have accused of being racist. This has sparked outrage online, with many expressing dissenting opinions. [View the story “What \”Redskins\” Owner Dan Snyder Isn’t Telling You” on Storify]

So, we were middle of doing a piece about Dan Snyder’s open letter defending the team name of his Washington NFL franchise, when we came across this tweet from @sakerocket: “@AllbrightNFL @NFLosophy do you guys think this is more offensive than redskins or rebels?” Yes, Robstown High School in Corpus Christi, TX, is known as […]

Are you f-ing kidding us? This came from The Raw Story: Fox News host Brian Kilmeade on Friday said he assumed that the network’s Latina meteorologist “grew up on tacos,” even though it is not a traditional food in her native country of Nicaragua. To celebrate National Taco Day, Fox & Friends asked Fox News Weather team […]

Here’s the scoop with Colbert. He would be so much better if he just cut to the chase. The point of the following video was all about FOX News and the whole “Children of the Corn” fiasco. It didn’t need the opening 90 seconds. Or a sombrero. Or a sarape. The first part of the […]

After several statements to Latino Rebels defending its decision to strip the title of a seven-year-old Miss Hispanic Delaware winner Jakiyah Mckoy for not being Latina enough, the Facebook page of Nuestras Raíces Delaware sent us the following image and quote today: This Jakiyah after the removal of the title and she was happy and […]

After talking with Latino Rebels yesterday about the recent controversy surrounding the decision to strip the title of Little Miss Hispanic Delaware from seven-year-old Jakiyah McKoy because McKoy lacked “the proper documentation” to prove she was Latina, Nuestras Raíces Delaware sent us the following Facebook message tonight: The recent issue of El Tiempo Hispano with […]

Maria Perez, President of Nuestras Raíces Delaware, the organization that sponsors the Little Miss Hispanic Delaware beauty pageant, spoke to Latino Rebels to address outfall in response to reports that recently crowned seven-year-old Jakiyah McKoy had been stripped of her title because of her skin color. “We were giving her the benefit of the doubt,” […]

This one came from our friends at HuffPost Latino Voices through Media Matters. Here is what HuffPost wrote: This probably isn’t the best way to reach Latino viewers. In a segment titled “The Grapevine,” Fox News referred to undocumented youth as “children of the corn” in a graphic prominently displayed in the top right corner of […]

UPDATE: Latino Rebels spoke to campaign organizers here, here, and here. And it continues. The Tumblr page of journalist Dash Harris posted the following last week: Jakiyah McKoy was crowned Little Miss Hispanic Delaware but… “There was uproar when the winner was announced because, according to the public, she was not the best representative of […]

Oops. As reported by CityPages.com in Minneapolis, the NFL’s Minnesota Vikings got into a little Twitter trouble when it originally tweeted this before it’s game against the Cleveland Browns yesterday: We are celebrating National Hispanic Heritage Month at today’s game.#BeatTheBrowns pic.twitter.com/h1tNIaXJ56 — Minnesota Vikings (@Vikings) September 22, 2013 The tweet has since been deleted and was replaced […]

This came from Breaking VIP and we are still scratching our heads. According to the VIP story, the Twitter profile of Forever 21 posted the following tweet yesterday (since deleted): “New Arrivals…straight outta Compton.” It added this image: Before the tweet was deleted, there was record of reactions, like this one: It lead to this […]

So The Daily Caller’s Education Editor Eric Owens, the reporter who thought that adding a lead image of some dudes in mariachi outfits made sense in a TDC story about how UCLA’s student government is discouraging the use of “illegal immigrants” (like The Associated Press), responded to a comment request from our friends at HuffPost’s Latino […]

It’s pretty clear that The Daily Caller is basically being run by a bunch of clueless pendejos, since this supposed bastion of independent political journalism is just getting sloppy. And racist. Where do we start? Let’s just explain. Today TDC’s Education Editor Eric Owens wrote a story about how UCLA’s student government unanimously resolved to […]
