Stereotypes about all races, gender, religions etc. are constantly perpetuated by the media. Certain characters on TV shows, commercials, and comedy acts use these stereotypical images of certain groups to entertain. Latin Americans in particular become the focus of a lot of comedians' material, the surprising thing is that a lot of these comics are actually Latin American. Their material is absolutetly hilarious, but is it detrimental? Does it ingrain these stereotypes into the minds of an uninformed public, or is it just another harmless way for people to lighten the mood and not take themselves so seriously?
