You know you have major problems when even the most sympathetic of outlets says you that your story is whack. That is exactly what Breitbart is telling the organizer of the silly “Shut Down All Ports of Entry” protest, which was suddenly cancelled in the early hours of September 20 because of a “bloodbath” threat […]

The following excerpt is from the official Vice President’s pool report for a Hispandering (sorry, Hispanic) Heritage Month event where Vice President Joe Biden spoke: [Biden] said comprehensive immigration reform was needed and that if Congress did not “get it done” before the end of the year, “the President’s going to do it, and he’s […]

UPDATE, September 23, 2014: PR51st has confirmed that it has commissioned the Voter / Consumer Research survey. In an email to our founder, the group said this, “PR51st commissioned the survey. We hope that it will help mainland candidates realize that Puerto Rico’s status is an issue of concern to their constituents, and that it […]

So the day after reporter Charlo Green (real name is Charlene Egbe) dropped the f-bomb on live Alaska TV because she was really the owner of the Alaska Cannabis Club and decided to work to legalize marijuana in her state, another video from Egbe explains why she did it.

Give it up to Rep. Beto O’Rourke (D-TX) for sharing actual truth about this whole “Is ISIS on the Mexican border?” paranoia crap. As O’Rourke said last week: There’s a longstanding history in this country of projecting whatever fears we have onto the border. In the absence of understanding the border, they insert their fears. […]

Last year, House Republicans published the following video at the beginning of Hispandering (sorry, Hispanic) Heritage Month: You remember late 2013, right? When the GOP-controlled House was preparing immigration reform principles that were released this past January? Guess they needed to do a YouTube video for their “Latino outreach.” You know, soften the message from […]

Yesterday during’s Mexico’s September 16 Independence Day celebration in Mexico City’s iconic Zócalo plaza —in front of president Enrique Peña Nieto, a cadre of national leaders and a national TV audience— this happened. (H/T Sin Embargo) Social media also included pictures of the flag gaffe. Se cae la bandera nacional previo al desfile -FOTOS http://t.co/faPbrwXdD7 […]

You would think by now, sororities and fraternities would just stop with hosting dumb events in racist costumes, but apparently not. This weekend, Cal State Fullerton’s Daily Titan reported the following: Cal State Fullerton sorority Alpha Delta Pi (ADPi), Zeta Alpha chapter is facing serious sanctions following a culturally inappropriate “Taco Tuesday” recruitment event last […]

We got the following video from a loyal Latino Rebels Facebook fan, along with this text: “In honor of Hispandering month are any of you old enough to remember this scene from Hill Street Blues with René Enríquez where he laid the smack down?” This scene needs no explanation. Watch. Now for all of you […]

Our friends at Pocho.com let us know today that the talented Hey Vato puppets have a new episode. Here it is:

Looks like the much-hyped Border Convoy trip into Texas has become an absolute disaster for the “Stop the Invasion” organizers. Yesterday, the group was in San Antonio, and according to local press, only six people showed up. A half-dozen people from the San Antonio area gathered to hear radio host Pete Santilli talk about illegal immigration […]

This doesn’t need much explanation. Just sit back and smile. Post by 94.1 FM Dallas.

Remember earlier this year when Nate Cohn of The New York Times let the world know that a significant number of U.S. Latinos were becoming more “white” by misrepresenting a study that had yet to be finalized? This week that study was finally published. Here it is: America's Churning Races: Race and Ethnic Response Changes […]

You know who Joe T. Hodo is, the hilarious satirical character whose Frack U video went viral in Mexico late last year. Last week, Hodo (played by Gregory Berger) was invited to appear on Mexico’s Milenio TV. Berger sent us a clip of Hodo’s appearance, and yes it is hilarious, because you don’t really know […]

This has to be a joke. We just got this tweet from a follower: @latinorebels You see this BS?! Two-time GOP loser changes name to Cesar Chavez… http://t.co/G3PrKKcMuW http://t.co/OR2LlvHTgi — Malena (@12thLady) June 2, 2014 So we clicked on the story. Apparently… it’s true. Just look at the ballot. Here is what the Capitol Times story […]

Yesterday, The New York Times’ “Upshot” blog announced the following to the world: “More Hispanics Declaring Themselves White.” The piece, written by Nate Cohn, included the animated image of a figure shifting from silver grey to ivory white and this lede paragraph: “Hispanics are often described as driving up the nonwhite share of the population. […]

This afternoon, Boston’s Spanish-language El Planeta newspaper tweeted the following to us: @latinorebels Boston Herald insists on using backward yellow journalism to cover immigration #WTF http://t.co/ooVTUATv3S … … — El Planeta (@elplanetaboston) May 21, 2014 The link lead to an editorial written in Spanish, where El Planeta lambasted today’s front page of The Boston Herald: […]

And the cultural appropriation hits keep on coming. Today, we present the Zapatista Burrito Bar from the city of Newcastle in clueless old England. We guess the locals love it, since a second location is already being built. According to its Twitter profile, it likes to say “HOLA, GRINGOS” and encourages patrons to “GRAB A […]

The following video is raw, but speaks for itself. It has gone viral, having been deleted from Facebook, but eventually showing up on YouTube. It happened on May 20 in Salinas, California. It shows two police officers chasing what appears to be an unarmed man. Eventually the police officer fire shots at the man, killing […]
