I have a question…If Latinos are so diverse, why is that we don’t see Latinos who look like Sammy Sosa(before his skin bleaching) on the soap operas? Why are there NO black Latinos on the news channels? I don’t understand. I know you all have black people in Latino communities in the States, especially Dominicans, but why are they so deemphasized on your Latino programs. Where are the morenos y morenas??????

Good question. There are dark-skinned Latinos in Soap Operas (i.e.,Adrian Esta de Visita) and we have many caramel-skin actors and actresses (a very popular Latino look). Unfortunately, as in EVERY culture/race we won’t say we’re perfect and that there isn’t bias amongst us (see my post: Latinos Hate Latinos). It is unfortunate, but there are certain mindsets we can’t change. If we see it in Hollywood (limited number of black and Latino actors)it is no shocker that we see it in our own market. It isn’t ethical, but it is up to television networks to call the shots and advocate more diversity within our own kind.

Not true. Las chicas of Primer Impacto son u nbuen ejemplo. Una es blanca y una Morena son preciosas las dos! Univision en el programa Despierta America tienen a morenos y blancos. Hay mucha diversidad en Univison y reprenta todas la razas de Latin America.
“Que bien!”

Hola, me encanto su blog esta buenisimo!! lo encontre mientras navegaba para buscarle precisamente a un amigo americano una foto y me tope con su extraordinaria pagina, me gusta muchas veces porque es buena para que entiendan lo que compone la cultura puertorriqueña y lo mas interesante es que lo hace de una manera graciosa y que no ofende a nadie. Felicitaciones!! Saludos desde la isla del encanto PR!!!

Any thoughts on Latino’s feelings on french fries/papas/tater tots? Is this a love or hate?

Nia Isaac on October 17th, 2010 at 5:30 am

P.S.
Your blog is FABULOUS!

Nia Isaac on October 17th, 2010 at 5:30 am

Thanks!!! I do it for my readers, you guys rock! As for the papas, we’re starch lovers, you know that!

Lilly on October 17th, 2010 at 2:38 pm

I’m Puertorican, and I absolutely enjoyed looking through this site because most of it is verrrry true. I have long acrylic nails and I have endless amounts of cheese-wizz in my fridge. One things I did not see was VICKS & how Latinas love perfume and usually collect the little bottles. Oh, and how most Latinas love to sell Avon. Anything to keep us young. haha

Sonymir on March 9th, 2011 at 1:07 am

Hi Sonymir! Thank you! I do have a posting on VICKS: http://www.thingslatinosloveorhate.com/love-vicks-vaporub/

However, I didn’t think about “eau de parfum” lol,I LOVE perfumes! I will make that a future posting, thanks for the tip!

I basically stumbled upon your blog, but I LOVE IT! Im still trying to find the thing we hate though so apparently I haven’t dug deep enough but what I’ve read I LOVE!

Nidia on May 21st, 2011 at 10:45 am

Thanks doll! I’m open to suggestions, let me know if you have additional feedback!

LR on May 21st, 2011 at 2:48 pm

Hilarious! I am married into a Dominican family and so many of these blog posts just are so true to my experience with them:):)
