I guess you have not seen it?? I have watched a shit ton of the really bad ones made in Mexico by the cartels on youtube and Sicario blows those the fuck out of the water, those are horrible (For the most part).<br /><br />All things considered this is a hollywood movie that no one will really see, and only one single there in my town of 750k serves food, it's not as bad as this post makes it seem. I love BLB, for years, one of the best sites on the net but this article is a little jaded. I have never even heard of this movie till now but I know about the real horrors of Mexico daily. I get the point though, the movie is not going to be realistic and maybe even glamorize stupid shit but hey... thats films for you, works of fiction not to be taken seriously .

...Correction: <br />"...panties in a bunch..."<br />Not bundle. <br /><br />Not sure what "reality" you're citing, smart guy, but maybe you too should open up a history book every now and then. Look up Zoot Suit Riots, Mexican Repatriation, Anti-hispanic hate crime statistics, etc.<br />And in case you're too lazy to do your research, here's what your beloved FBI had to say in their 2016 hate crimes report, don't take my word for it, I'm a Mexican American afterall:<br /><br />As has long been true, hate crimes based on race were by far the biggest category, with more than half of reported hate crime incidents motivated by race, ethnicity, or ancestry. Among those, nearly half were anti-black crimes, and nearly 10 percent were anti-Latino. About one in five were anti-white, although white people were still much less likely, when accounting for total population, to suffer a hate crime than minority groups.<br /><br />I believe it's you sir, who needs to heed your own advice and politely stfu.<br /><br />Knowledge is power<br /><br />El OchoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5195137745759962560.post-89128384011469994932018-03-13T22:14:49.061-06:002018-03-13T22:14:49.061-06:00Thank dd, I'm having a really horrible start t...Thank dd, I'm having a really horrible start to 2018.Siskiyou Kidnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5195137745759962560.post-70115641403810506312018-03-13T22:00:19.638-06:002018-03-13T22:00:19.638-06:00@8:41.
