EDIT: I just realized why this saga affects so many people. One reason is that her "character" is acting just like a bully. So, either you identify with the bully or you identify with the one being bullied. Or you identify with those who stand by and watch.
I did this video as an exercise in editing, but I've come to see that there are many Latinos in the community who are genuinely hurt by this kind of stereotyping. Her friend says they like "Acting Mexican" - and that is a shameful attitude to have. The Latino community is going through a difficult situation right now, and spreading this type of stereotype is counterproductive to what they are trying to achieve...acceptance.
