1. Once you’ve watched the film, please respond to this prompt:
Question to answer about Video: What stereotypes of ethnic Mexicans do you see at play in this film (stick to just one or two)? How does the film reinforce them and what major ideas does it suggest? How does this reinforce stereotypes of Latinx people we still see today?
