ABC's "Work It" Show: Insulting Puerto Ricans

Sure, ABC's new show "Work It" is awful, but did it have to get all stereotypical on Puerto Ricans as well?

Joke was only offensive in not being funny. Lazy writing.

sorry people but if you see the NEWS Puerto Rico ended in 1135 Homicides in the ISLAND and most of them are Drug related ,Yes I am proud of been a Puerto rican BUT the message that we are sending to the World is Bad. but for the white people who buy the drugs and sale weapons to Puertoricans so they can kill people why dont they write a script of a red redneck seling guns to the PUERTO RICANS.

@goov47 Im not saying that IM SELLING drugs...Monday to Sunday, read and watch the news, try to see something different. How can you say most of PRcans are not like that?, even politicians are in the underworld. Somebody in your neighborhood, kid, adult or old sell or buy drugs. PR is not the same place that used to be 10 years ago when I was 13 or 14 years old, its not. Drugs are everywhere, but theres a diferrence between control, out of control and UNCONTROLLABE.

@TheUnderatedJC So what you're saying is that YOU sell drugs? Good to know that most PR are not like you.

No lloren mas na que el show lo cancelaron. Aparentemente lleva mas merito criticar a Nolasco por una linea de satira en un show de comedia, que reconocer que un puertorriqueno habia conseguido el lead en un show prime time en ABC. Y no vean Modern Family que Sofia Vergara esta insultando Colombianos...

@ylnsier2 That's the point; I watch a lot of TV.And they do joke about mexicans selling drugs a lot and about colombians and their guerrillas/cocaine and the things they say about canadians; but all in good fun.Y la mayoria de las veces los que dicen "la ofensa" son de ese mismo pais.Si esto es una ofensa, pues Sofia Vergara tiene a los colombianos por el piso en modern family y George Lopez sera el mas odiado por mejico.Pero ellos saben que eso es relajo, aca lloran.Y soy puertorriquena btw.

Im puertorican, and this is the truth.

I guess the show was epic fail on many fronts.
