Untitled[edit]

I have removed several paragraphs sourced only by undergraduate student papers. They are not reliable sources at WP>DGG (talk) 18:29, 17 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Why did you put back the question that user asked as a reference, rather than here the talk page? Besides, I'd answered the question, though perhaps I could've done a better job of it. And why do you think it necessary to remove the See also links? SamEV (talk) 18:42, 17 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

slip of the mouse, just plain editing error. I've changed the question to an inline comment to keep the context, and restored the see also's.DGG (talk) 19:53, 17 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Notes on studies[edit]

While there is discussion of media portrayal, there is no discussion of hot-temperedness, passivity, dependence on men, etc... The reality is, many stereotypes are based on some reality, although it can be based on a minority or older generation. Second, I find frequent contradictions in interpreting data. E.g. The fact that they are "virginized" while studies show "Non-Hispanic white women began sexual relations about a year younger than all of the Latinas in the survey reported." in fact supports the "virgin" theory, not disputes it, as if the goal of all stereotypes is to suggest that all stereotypes have no basis in reality--which seems unlikely. There needs to be more balance and fairness in explaining the basis/origins of stereotypes, even if they are weakly supported today. P.S. My latina wife and all her female relatives, and a highly abnormal percentage of latina females I know, are VERY hot tempered--it may be a stereotype, but it also seems quite true, more than AVERAGE, which is the key point. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.198.160.79 (talk) 05:01, 14 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Contradiction[edit]

This article is a mess, frankly. It claims that mestizos are represented instead of white, black or Asian Latinos, while at the same time saying that Latinos on TV are blondes - while Latinos are shown to be Southern European because "Anglos" don't find those people to be White! ¿QUÉ? '''tAD''' (talk) 13:46, 23 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It's not a contradiction. Latinos in the US media are often portrayed as being mestizo, meanwhile mixed race individuals are underrepresented in latin american mediaNBAkid (talk) 16:56, 8 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Critique and Suggestions for Improvement[edit]

This is a great topic! think the article could be improved by providing a more balanced coverage of Latino stereotypes. For example, in addition to stereotypes about women, you could also discuss stereotypes about men (e.g., the Latin lover stereotype). Moreover, it would be helpful to have a section on the history of these stereotypes so that the reader can understand where they come from. Lastly, because most of the sources in this article are not very reliable, you may want to look for frequently cited books and scholarly articles in various academic journals related to psychology, sociology, anthropology, and communications, among other potentially relevant fields. Even a quick Google Scholar search reveals some interesting and reliable books/articles when you use the search terms "Latino stereotypes" or "Hispanic stereotypes." Hope this helps, and please let me know if you have any questions or if you disagree with any of my comments. —Andrescastillo0119 (talk) 07:02, 10 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Nonsense wording[edit]

One of this page's sections is titled "Discrepancy between Hispanic identity and identity." This has to be an error. What is it supposed to mean? Kiwi Rex (talk) 23:45, 17 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Fiery Latina and the hot señorita[edit]

The first sentence of this paragraph explains how Latinas are seen to be "hot-tempered", but the rest of the paragraph focuses on how Latinas are sexualized without mentioning anger or temper. Is this stereotype about Latinas being hot-tempered or sexy? 199.120.30.207 (talk) 05:21, 2 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
