I had dinner once with Paul Rodriguez about 10 years ago. He was one of the most sweetest, most gracious & humble down to earth celebrities I’ve ever met. He even shared his food with me and made sure everyone at the table was comfortable, taken care of and had a great time. …Definitely not the type that would have deserved Will Smith’s animosity; Will Smith was tripping 100%.

It's wonderful for a 68-year-old Mexican-American like myself to see such great talent together. I can remember not to long ago when there were no major mainstream Mexican comedians, and the Mexican culture was looked on as inferior. Comedians like Paul Rodriguez, Felipe Esparza, George Lopez, Fluffy and others have done a lot to make things better for the Mexican-American entertainers coming down the line.

@Downey-2000 2 года назад

Inferior is the wrong word . Someone with inferiority complex (a victim) would say something like that . Deferent or strange sounds better . The Italians , Irish , Jews etc all had and still get the same treatment . You know what I'm saying .

@tongoxavier 2 года назад

I have never heard a non-Mexican person refer to Mexican culture as strange or deferent. They sound like words a professor would use to describe an insect species. I don't consider myself a victim and am just stating what I have experienced from growing up in the U.S. as an immigrant from the age of 6. Mainstream cartoons and movies for many years presented most Mexican characters as villains, thieves, bandidos, gardeners and such, from the Frito Bandido to the illiterate, thuggish bandidos saying "We don't need no stinkin' badges" No one disputes that. It has only been in the last 30 years or so that things have started to get much better for Mexican-American talent and that didn't happen as an accident or fate, but has to do with the changing demographics of America. I recognize that other minority groups have been subjected to similar treatment; I was just stating that things have gotten much better for Mexican entertainers over time because of better work conditions.

Maybe I haven't seen enough of the other comedians you mention, but I really dislike George López and the way he perpetuates stereotypes. However, I'm not Mexican American and maybe they're spot-on. I think the same of Mexican comedians who stereotype Mexican culture in Mexico.

@Daron7181 2 года назад

According to what Paul Rodriguez said, It was the other dude Ferdinand Pacheco showing up at the set drunk yelling racial slurs at Will Smith that messed it up for him. It was wrong that he took it out on Paul. Prior to that, Paul said that he and Will were cool.

Paul is a legend and my hero. He was one of the very few Mexican comedians that DIDN'T sell us out. I used to skip out to watch him at the Rivercenter Comedy Club. Totally worth it. There's talking about our culture in a funny relatable way and there's just "wet back" comedy, which is kinda offensive if done to death. You know, the dumb Mexican tropes. I can take a joke, but take it easy man. Don't make us the punchline all the time, wey. **COUGH George Lopez and Carlos Mencia COUGH**. ANYWAY. I am hurt my hero was abused by Will. I hope more folks he was awful to, come forward and stand tall. Paul and Felipe are the maximo homies. Two good dudes that I only wish the best to. Thank you for speaking up, Paul. And thank you, Felipe. For giving our homie this platform. Ahooooooahhhhhhh cabrones, mantenga se firme hermanos!

According to george lopez, eva longoria, erik estrada and throngs of other mexicans who accuse him of being a selling-out for his stance and criticisms towards mexican illegal aliens who pour across the border and enter the U.S. unabated.

@californio1850 2 года назад

Carlos Mencia isn't even Mexican yet claimed he was and tried to popularize the word "beaner". Don't insult Lopez by comparing the two, and Lopez also brought Latinos to the forefront with his sitcom. Meanwhile Rodriguez has a blindspot when it comes to lack of sympathy for undocumented Mexicans but you have to give him respect for his contributions anyway.

Really Will? We all ain't racist 50% sadly are though lol.

@Rose-pl5jj 2 года назад

I agree that the Cuban boxing manager was out of line to mess things up for Paul but why is it racist to cast a good actor in a role where he fits the description? That's usually how it works. a Latino character is played by a Latino actor. Benicio del Toro is from Puerto Rico but plays characters from Mexico, Cuba,etc... J.Lo was born in US but plays characters from Mexico. Look how many Australian & British actors are cast in American roles. It would be worse if actors were only allowed to play characters from.the one country they were born.
