The Tex/Mex Dilemma

So while art is usually just taken as a free form of expression, people get really sensitive.

Sleeping Mexican Mural Problem


So apparently its not nice to draw a sleeping Mexican with a sombrero on.
Apparently it looks like it represents the great chicano race as a bunch of lazy fuckers.
Which, as we all know isn't the truth (well I can't speak for all of them).

The people that represent the Latin folks in TX also think that its wrong to show a Brown man leading a burro (donkey) because of its lack of relevance, and because their children don't even know what a donkey is.

Well how about you teach the kids?!
How about you explain the your people being misunderstood, and show them how to be opposite there of?
How about they draw a man pushing a lawn mower, would that make it better?

What I'm saying is, there all these other negative images that are being imprinted in the minds of the youth, and here are these tight ass uppity rosetta stone graduates (ingles sin barreras for ya older folks) trying to pick at a drive in theater for not being PC. 

If the parents aren't teaching the culture, then it doesn't really matter what the kids see, they'll just stay lost in Americana.
