Mexicans continue to bash Blacks and portray them as monkeys and a lower form of human life. The show below was recently broadcast on a Spanish Language channel here in the United States and one Reader, "Ricardo Sanchez" took the time to translate it and upload it to YouTube.
Here's what Ricardo had to say (or should I say Rick, as in Sanchez?)
Sadly, RACISM is alive and well on our shores en Espanol. We could not believe our eyes/ears watching this on Spanish TV, so got it taped and translate/subtitled for ‘Mainstream USA’ to notice what slides by on our own ‘foreign-language’ media. WARNING: The jokes are offensive to most all races, except perhaps whatever you call Mexicans.
The show, Cero En Conducta, is supposed to be a spoof on growing up in a Mexican elementary school, but the episode below clearly has nothing to do with elementary school and everything to do with hating black people.
If this had happened on an English language channel there would be mass boycotts and a calling for it to be removed from the airwaves, the firing of executives etc.... This stuff however continues to be broadcast into our country from the Mexican media.
In the episode an African exchange student attends a Mexican school and pretty much every stereotype in the book is used. From big lips to the student being mistaken for a Mexican who fell in the mud or was painted with tar.

Disgusting...I wonder who the fool is, who played Johnny, who obviously exploided his own race? No doubt, for the mighty dollar...shame on you. And Rick Sanchez was 'concerned enough' to send this in, in the name of racism? Well gee Rick, this is the mentality that slides by our own OPEN BORDERS, if you get my drift...

I couldn't watch much of even the first video; I didn't even bother with the second one. I had heard accounts of Mexican racism against blacks, and from what I have learned it is true. Mexican national gang members in our larger cities, especially in California, discriminate against blacks openly to the point where they seek out and physically harm them. Check out the comic character, Memin Pinguin, popular in many Hispanic countries; it is a stereotype of black people on such a level that basically hasn't been seen in this country for half a century. And, just look at any Mexican soap operas - the richer the characters are, the lighter their skin. Darker hispanics end up as playing gardeners and maids. We don't need this mess in our country.

Guys: While you're railing about how racists Mexicans are, you should also ding us for hating gays, fat people, hot chicks, old hags, and basically every other stereotype depicted on this show!

As a Afro Puerto Rican, I didn't find this video to be funny, but very racist and offensive to all black people of African ancestry. I find many Mexicans and Salvadorans/Central Americans to be very racist. If a Afro Latino from Panama, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Honduras, or Colombia speak in Spanish around this ignorant people, they look shocked and surprise. You don't see many blacks on the 3 Spanish networks in the United States. If you do, they are slaves or maids. Racism exist big time within the Latino community and I don't see La Raza, LULAC, or MECHA discussing or addressing this issue.

I do not like what was played in the video but,they are really uneducated about black issues. Look, the Mexicans on the show is being played by their own people and falling for that deception. It is called "getting-paid-to-hate." People get educated before it is to late
