Latino Sterotypes within Latino Comedy

I was watching a video that does a parody of three hundred the movie with Mexicans crossing the American border. It was a bit upsetting, but then my friend told me that it was produced by a Latino Comedy group and that this was probably the reason that it was not taken off youtube for racism. This video has had 4 million views already. But this begs the question of whether material such as this truly changes in the hands of people that are also part of the group that is being stereotyped. Does the fact that Latinos are the ones that produced and created this video make it any less wrong? These kinds of representations, do not take the immigration issue very seriously and they portray the wrong image. I get the fact that it is not supposed to be taken seriously, but in watching the video itself there must still be something that one sees as representative of Latinos in order to entertain. Just because something does not give the entire picture and is an exaggeration, once this representation is released to the public, the reception is different for everyone that watches it. Even though, they may know that this is an exaggeration, in seeing this there may be certain aspects that do influence them because, as we said in class, this audience reception is something that cannot be entirely controlled. In terms of the right that other Latinos have to make and spread this material I still and not sure if they should, because there is always the danger that these types of representations may only enhance false stereotypes.
