Channel: EntertainmentBuzz is growing around the new action film Colombiana starring Zoe Saldana, which opens in theaters nationwide on Aug. 26. But it’s not all good buzz, especially among young Latinos.
Members of the non-profit group PorColombia, among other Colombian Americans, have taken to Twitter and Facebook to start a grassroots campaign against the stereotypes and lack of Colombian substance they say the film portrays.
“We’re very disappointed that Hollywood is using the Colombian armed conflict again as cheap propaganda for its profit, it shows its total lack of creativity,” said Carlos Macias, the group’s president. PorColombia, which aims to improve the perception of Colombia in the US, is made up of 12 college chapters in the US and Canada.

Look at the video, this is so important!
The dumbing down and brutalization of the crowds; this concerns not only hispanic, all immigrants and low-income ppl are targeted!
They just use different negative identificators for each etnic group to attach to.
