Although this movie depicts the majority of Americans as very ignorant to the contributions and facts concerning the Latino population that live here, I think that it is not stereotypical. I have heard the same remarks about Latinos from many people that I know, not because they are bad people, but because United States citizens in general do not care about educating themselves when it comes to this population. The movie does a great job at dispelling many misconceptions such as the amount of money the US government spends on Latinos as opposed to the amount they give back to our economy. It accomplishes this in a more light-hearted manner than just presenting pure data. Of course, this movie could have been made focusing on many different marginalized or misunderstood subsets of the US population, but it is very helpful in showing that we are all necessary to contribute to this society and without any part, we cannot function.
