Perhaps it was just a matter of time. Perhaps it was merely the representation of an old Hollywood system waking up to a new and cumbersome reality. Perhaps it was just pissed-off entitlement ready to take a massive media White Flight. Whatever it was, earlier this week Deadline marked its official and unequivocal demise as […]

Leave it to The Economist for reminded us all that they are clueless. For an article about the rise of U.S. Latinos, this is the cover the magazine has for one of its editions. No worries, they have a China one, too. This week we have two different regional versions of our cover March 14th […]

The following video is of poor quality but it shows Rodner Figueroa on “El Gordo y La Flaca” describing Michelle Obama’s physical features as being from the cast of the movie Planet of the Apes (El planeta de los simios in Spanish). Univision confirmed today via a statement to Latino Rebels that Figueroa has been […]

Yesterday, this happened on The Real. Three of the show’s hosts (Tamera Mowry-Housley, Jeannie Mai and Loni Love) decided to cook quesadillas dressed up like this: Last night, the Twitter profile of Mowry-Housley tweeted this (the tweet is no longer on Twitter): I’ll start there because Mowry-Housley’s deleted tweet is the only acknowledgement I have seen […]

By now you may have already seen perhaps one of the most overtly bad stereotype moments of 2015. Earlier today The Real talk show thought dressing up its hosts in sarapes, sombreros and mustaches while doing a cooking bit about quesadillas would be funny. It wasn’t even close. All you need to do is check […]

So this weekend, our friend Dawn Page had a chance to ask Sean Penn about the “green card” joke a few weeks ago during the Oscars. After a long and rather privileged response, Sean closed with the following, “I don’t give a fuck about all this.” Seriously, Sean, a little humility instead of a typically […]

I remember the first time I heard of Dr. Ben Carson. I listened to him speak and I thought to myself, “Now that’s a man who I can back in politics.” His demeanor was very calm and he appeared quite logical. You would expect this from a man who performed brain surgeries for a living. […]

Remember a few weeks ago when a University of Texas fraternity’s “border patrol” party led to a letter of concern from UT students? According to local reports out of UT, university officials see no problem with the party and the Fiji frat won’t face any penalties or punishment from the school: Texas Fiji’s “border patrol” […]

Earlier today, one of our Twitter followers sent us this tweet: Roswell, NM newspaper publishes cartoon this week suggesting Blacks and Latinos leave town: http://t.co/54P6CoMn6d — Mónica Ortiz Uribe (@MOrtizUribe) February 18, 2015 So we clicked on the link, which took us to the site of the Roswell Daily Record and this editorial cartoon: That […]

The United States of America, my home, has a working relationship with my ancestral home, Puerto Rico. For better or worse, the relationship exists. I understand that there are arguments on both sides of the coin. There are those that favor the Commonwealth and statehood, while others want a completely independent Puerto Rico. This domain […]

So last night’s Powerball drawing had three big winners: one in North Carolina, one in Texas and one in Puerto Rico. As you might expect, news of the Puerto Rico winner is getting the ignorant few a bit testy this morning. First up, one of our Rebeldes of El Paso told us that KLAQ’s Lisa […]

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 […]
