The very popular and comedic duo from youtube whose videos (Cholo Adventures) poke fun at the life of a pair of cholos who don't have it under control. In these videos however the two are poking fun at the different kinds of stereotypes of not only on Mexicans, since the videos titles are "you know your Mexican if...(part _)", but to Hispanics in general. I'm not going to lie though I did get a good kick out of it since I've done at least one of the things on there more than a few times. As comedic as they are, I don't think my family in Mexico, or my mom, or my grandpa would be too happy if they saw this. In fact they probably would find it a little offensive. So I end with this question does laughing at mildly offensive jokes on the internet make it okay if its your own race? Or is it the same? Just click the links below, take a look, and think about it.

They are soooooooooo funny! Either way they do portray Hispanics in a harsh way and yeah if my mom or anybody who is Hispanic were to see these they would get soooo offended!
ReplyDeleteLol,these videos are hilarious, but honestly I think they are overexagerating the hispanic culturewith to many things. And I feel like as if even though I am a part of it, these videos are laughfing at us not with us....
