Are Hispanic people still stereotyped in the media?
Absolutely.
Modern Family-a lighthearted comedy, with a wild "Latino Lover" character
One key difference between the Latin stereotypes and stereotypes of other minorities is the degree of negativity associated with it. While the mexican character can be stereotyped as lazy with siestas or the dim witted side kick, most of the time it is in the name of comedy although it is hurtful. What it doesn't do blatantly put to shame an entire race of people like something like blackface might do. Both are quite irresponsible and hurtful, but I feel the are varying degrees of this.
