Mexicans Are Cute and Funny
Today, Mexicans are, depending on your uniquely American perspective, hard working, overtaxing (of our precious resources that we rightfully stole), or in some cases, scary.

We learned this from entertainers such as Cantinflas Mario Moreno, Speedy Gonzalez (¡Ándale! ¡Ándale!), and we learned this from TV skits like this one:

Viva la popular culture!
