THE NEW HOLLYWOOD

Been thinking about moving. I worked my Art Dept. job yesterday and saw that the PA's were mexican. Now, I'm not racist at all so this has nothing to do with that. It's an observation of work habits. Of the mexicans I have encountered while living in LA, I have noticed that they seem to work, for the most part, mediocre jobs.

Hard work for little pay. They literally sit outside Home Depot waiting for someone to hire them on as a day player installing whatever it is that their home needs installed.

So, if this trend continues, mexicans will find their way into the PA world because they work their asses off and don't mind the rate of $100/day. Bottom line, is that film is growing everywhere. With the advent of digital filmmkaing, everyone is making movies and coincidentally, movies are being made everywhere.

Something I've also noticed is the mexicans in LA take full advantage of the "no kid limit" law. It is my humble opinion that america should adopt a law that restricts couples from having more than two kids. Right now, the average mexican family has about 5. It is not uncommon for any given family to have 8. And each kid will work for peanuts and have more babies. And the trend continues. They are having infinitely more babies than americans, blacks, or asians.

The way I see it, because the film industry is equal opportunity, and ALL about saving money, more and more mexicans will be employed very soon.

The industry as we know it.. is losing it's integrity. I think it will be a while before another "hollywood" aka "epicenter of film" comes about, but mark my words, if this trend continues, which there is no reason why it shouldn't, a new city will pop up, maybe somewhere in Canada, maybe Austin, maybe Oregon.. that will be the new Hollywood.

LA is close to the beach, generally has beautiful weather, and has little nooks and crannys that make it VERY appealing to me personally, and I've never been to the aforementioned cities, so I don't know what is going to happen. Plus I don't even want to do PA work.

So, it was just a thought.

You have broken through a plane in my mind in your mind. I had thought about moving to LA since mid college and buying a car. It is expensive lifestyling. We can take this internet connection anywhere and communicate to the world with it. Interesting observations about the mexican PAs, I am glad the film industry is integrating. I got your message, let's hang out soon.

Expensive and entirely unnecessary. At times, highly irrational and close-minded. We have the ability to do anyhting.. anwhere. It's just a matter of seeing it thru.

@cybertubie not exactly sure....but I think that he's claiming they are of illegal status, which is unmitigated, presuming that in order to become a PA, one has to be a US citizen. His contention is that he feels threatened by the hiring of illegals in his industry which might not've been happening when he started. Albeit; there could be a number of reasons why. The digital age has allowed people of color to thrive in the entertainment fields / mediums, that otherwise suppressed them

Maybe you should move where there isnt any mexicans or where they dont like mexicans like arizona

well said

Consider the reasons why people leave their country. People leave because of hanger, better future not to invade, unlike the peregrims that invaded this land without permision. But this is another issue. Mexicans are exploited in Mexico, they get paid poorly, the prices are just as US prices, and once you are over 30 jobs are not easy to find aleast the good ones. So, we must ask the USA gov. to address this issues and help change the empmnt discrimination in Mexico. This could stop the imm.

i agree iwth everything your saying. and every where you go you will see mexicans nd other races.. remember mexicans the "minority" is the new majority

[cybertubie]

Revolting bitch. During WWII, cities were described as being infested with Japs. Yet you dare to describe others with the same terminology? Maybe concentration camps for Japs are not a bad idea.

Mexicans were in CA and the Southwest long before you assholes arrived here.

[cybertubie]

Ignorant moron. Mexicans are not taking over Los Angeles. MEXICANS FOUNDED LOS ANGELES. It is white trash who invaded their land.

You say that you see a lot of Mexicans working as PAs. That is a rarity, since whites, mainly Jews, have controlled the film business for a hundred years. Those of Mexican origin, US citizens, have worked hard to get to their positions. You expect the original inhabitants of this city to let you walk by just because you're white? Get real.

if you're black then you r American DuH.
