I'm all for increasing awareness of preventing cancer in women, but this video's approach is very sexist and racist. They say women are defined by family, and Hispanic women in particular more so. This reinforces gender and racial stereotypes. Plus, it's not a woman's fault that she may put her family's needs before hers when, for the most part, society still defines women primarily as caregivers. At least this video is encouraging women to take their bodies/health more seriously.
