Check Out this Casting Call for ‘Fiery’ ‘Mami Chulas’
By ALEX ALVAREZ
Oye, fellow CHICA$! Mamis, lemme ask u a kuestion. R u r3aDy 2 B on TV? Duh, rite? Well, locas, have I got the oportunidad 4 u! Peep this kasting kall looking for “fiery, passionate, spanish speaking bi-lingual goddesses who are those beautiful, exciting, mami chulas NY is notorious for (sic)” to take part in a show called “Mi Vida Loca.” DALE!
When I got this casting call (“kasting kall”) in my inbox (from Doron Ofir, the guy who did Jersey Shore) I actually cracked up because they managed to hit every horrible stereotype ever (except “ay, dios mio!”). It was incredibly thorough in its stereotyping. So good job, I guess, fuckfaces.
This is the entirety of VH-1’s documentary on Rodney King, hip-hop and the LA Riots, via Ego Trip. IT IS CRUCIAL VIEWING, especially considering the bs that is the false and damaging rebranding of American society as “post-racial.” This was only 20 years ago.
