Okay, this parody video confuses me:
Now, my immediate white-girl knee-jerk reaction was to label this as anti-immigration racism. But I got it from the very activist anti-racist Liza Sabater, who says "it is the most brilliant piece of immigration-related comedy I have seen or heard EVER!" and it's done by the Latino Comedy Project. So what am I missing? What makes this different from a typical Carlos Mencia comedy routine? (Of course, the comics fan in me justifies it by reasoning, "Oh, they're just all stampeding to get to the San Diego Comic Con because they're such fans of Frank Miller"...)
