Scholar says Hollywood still relies on old Mexican stereotypes

William Nericcio, a professor of English and comparative literature at San Diego State University, says Hollywood continues to lean on outdated stereotypes of Mexicans and Mexican Americans. He lists violent, dirty, lazy, spitfire and temptress among the common portrayals. Nericcio co-authored the book "Talking #browntv: Latinas and Latinos on the Screen". He also says he enjoys the series "Breaking Bad" and "Narcos", and he grew up in Laredo, Texas. The comments were reported by Mexico News Daily on 14 Nov.
