OUTRAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE!!!

How many of us love our culture? How many of us look at our heritage with an admiration? I do. I love my heritage. I wouldn’t change it for the world. But there’s something that troubles me. There’s something wrong with my people. You see, television and radio are having a major impact in my cultural community. And it’s not necessarily good. We’ve all heard morning DJ’s and their crazy morning zoo or whatever they call. Most of the time it’s just general craziness, but there’s one morning DJ that caters to my people and is causing the degradation of our heritage. He says we must be proud of what we are, but acts and speaks in a manner that causes most people to view us as a bunch of beer chugging dirt bags who take good jobs from honest Americans. I am embarrassed by his actions and ashamed for my community. I don’t like to stereotype people, and I especially don’t like it when I’m stereotyped. It really blows my top to hear people repeating some of the stupidities this man says on the radio. I love my people, and even though I can’t change the world, I hope anyone who reads this post can surely agree that people who destroy a heritage should not be allowed anywhere near a mic or camera. I know I’ve left a lot of loose ends in this post so I’m going to fill in the blanks. I am Mexican. And this particular gentlemen I write about is a morning DJ for a Midwestern Spanish Radio station. I hate what he’s doing to my people and to our culture. That’s right, El Pistolero, I’m talking about you.
