For years, the media and Hollywood have stereotyped minorities in America, but when it comes to Latinos, the offenses seem to have gotten worse. There is no better example than Guillermo, who is cast as the likable buffoon on the Jimmy Kimmel Live Show on ABC, and is the nightly butt of jokes on the program directed at him. Guillermo is not an actor or a comedian, he plays himself, a Mexican immigrant. He’s not the only Hollywood stereotype of Latinos. Sanchez, whose name was used in the Rick and Morty Cartoon, takes us through the “hot, but dumb” Latina, the “criminal” and the “Guillermo” character. Among those are Sofia Vergara who was cast as Gloria on Modern Family, Tattoo on Fantasy Island, Chuy from Chelsea Lately, Pedro from Napoleon Dynamite, Tuco from Breaking Bad and even back to the Lone Ranger whose sidekick was named Tonto, which means dumbass.
