American media causes stereotypes. For example, I was watching this comedy show and they show a latino character in a neighborhood whistling at an american blond and saying in a cholo voice, "Hey Blondie."
I get offended by that because they try to make us latinos look like perverts that like american girls. I don't even like american girls.
We have nice looking women and blondes, brunettes, red heads with green, blue, brown, gray or honey colored eyes within our own latino communities and countries and a lot are even better looking that american girls.
Just watch the telenovelas to get an example. We prefer our own women to drool over. I would much rather drool over a Colombian girl like Sofia Vergara anyday than that blonde american girl in that comedy show
Anyway, in our towns back in our countries of origin, we have nice looking women.
Stereotypes are harmful when people treat you different because of the brainwashing they do on the media.
