Hey,There is this Optimum IO Cable commercial (NY/NJ areas) that I find so utterly demeaning to Hispanic culture. Now, I'm a non-Hispanic Black man, but being a minority, I get angry and also embarrassed evertime that commercial comes on. It's the one when people are dancing all over the beach, wearing all kinds of loud costumes, dancing, and showing shots of Mr. T like, overdone gold jewelry. I get this feeling too whenever Black commercials come because everyone has to dance or rap. Anyone else bothered by this trend in media? Please provide examples too.Peace,Big Stacks from Kakalak

    Are we talking about the same IO commericial thats "reggaeton" or "latin" themed. Wife and I can not stand this commercial. Her being of latin background as well. Im finding this to be the norm now with no matter what they are pushing on t.v.
