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 […]

Here are two stories that got our attention this week. The first one is out of Arkansas, where, according to reports, a local high school “became a canvas for graffiti with racial undertones the night before school started.” “You can’t do that,” said Superintendent Dr. Melvin Bryant. “That’s a no-no.” Pictures have already circulated on […]

So Elisa Chan, the San Antonio City Council member who was slammed for a secret recording that expressed her extreme views on homosexuality, responded this week to the critics, in a statement her office shared with a local San Antonio TV news channel: The comments from the staff meeting on May 21st were and are […]

From the YouTube page of NDLON: When Tennessee Rep. Scott Desjarlais announced he would hold a town hall on immigration, Josie decided to attend to seek his support even though it was at a tea party event of more than 200. Since her father was placed in deportation proceedings, she’s been going to therapy to […]

This in from Latin Times: Ana María Jiménez Ortiz, congresswoman for the Mexican political party PAN, cited a scientific study that has caused waves amongst the gay community fighting for equal rights. Her exposition was done during the “Matrimonio Igualitario en Puebla” panel that took place last week in support of marriage equality. “A marriage […]

This is crazy. Just crazy. Just listen. We have no words. Now the context from the San Antonio reporter who broke the story today: “So disgusting!” That exclamation escaped the lips of District 9 Councilwoman Elisa Chan on May 21 in her City Hall office, where she was meeting with members of her staff to […]

Next stop on the #PendejoTour for Rep. Steve King? CNN this morning. Watch. Just watch. That video came form Media Matters, which also posted the following: CNN anchor Kate Bolduan confronted Representative Steve King (R-IA) with a very basic question this morning on New Day: “Do you just not like Latinos?” The anchor framed her […]

So this is how it happens. First Fusion’s Jorge Rivas writes an opinion piece over the weekend, saying that the Spanish word “indocumentado” does not mean “illegal immigrant” in Google Translate’s web page translation service. Then, Rivas gets Google to comment. Now, according to Rivas, Google Translate has fixed the issue. Here is what he […]

Yesterday, we linked back to opinion piece from Jorge Rivas of Fusion, who was surprised to find out that Google Translate uses the term “illegal immigrant” when a user enters the Spanish word “indocumentado” (“undocumented”) into the Internet giant’s translation system. Yesterday, Rivas followed up with Google and this is what Google said. In short, […]

If the following opinion piece is any indication about how the new Fusion network will be like, then we think both ABC and Univision made the right decision to partner up for a different kind of television network. This is what Fusion’s Jorge Rivas (@thisisjorge) wrote: Dear Google Translate Team, On Saturday I used Google Translate […]

And so it continues. First, Satan. Now, Latinos posing as Arab terrorists, or is it Arabs posing as Latino immigrants who are also terrorists? Who knows any more. Here is what ABC News reported today: A Republican congressmen this week used insensitive-sounding rhetoric while discussing immigration reform, but he did it while making the case […]
