That's exactly right. She doesn't come from the same background as the Latinos in this country, but she has tried to sell herself as somebody with connections to our group. She tries to be whatever background CNN needs her to be. She's patronizing and when I see her, I change the channel!  Robles was right especially when she said that he hopes O’Brien will win an Emmy for the best impersonation of a Latina.

The reality is that all three examples you offer struck a chord with fellow Latinos. That "rant" you mention here has received more than 3400 views on YouTube in less than two weeks. Sure Robles could have been less biting, but the core argument he brings has connected with people. The same goes for the other two posts you bring. I plan to backlink this excellent post to my blog since you raise some good points. My perspective is this: CNN missed the boat and the documentary was flawed and unbalanced.

I thought CNN did a good job within the confines of an expansive topic and limited time. I too found some of the reviews and reactions from all sides predictably shallow and unnecessarily strident. We've all seen the inflammatory rhetoric, especially in recent years, that better serves the interests of powerful entities exploiting divisions than a civil society practicing human rights for all. I'd like to see a more in-depth show, however, comparing and contrasting different periods of immigration and societal assimilation in our nation's history. I personally find it ironic that this nation of immigrants is so easily manipulated into low brow stereotyping and "populist" rhetoric instead of embracing our history, ideals, and true economic prosperity for all.

In my city they are a 2/3rds majority. They have the audacity to call themselves "exiles." It's quite an experience. Every day. In every way. 6 years as a big-city, night time beat-cop was quite an eye-opener. These folks have an enormous capacity for whining and demanding. In my city they are a 2/3rds majority.
