Fun with stereotypes.

Sully posted a redonkulous quote on his blog today. It was an excerpt from some wacko about Latin men and their nature/downs syndrome, etc. I wondered if Sully was taking it out of context to make this person seem even crazier than the statement.
Nope. Sure wasn't. Allow me to reprint it a larger excerpt-- Surprise! It's about Natalie Portman. And realize this is on a website that promotes "Gen-X Jewry" to think outside the box (read: it's OK to be a conservative Jew!) and to refuse to be "characters in a Seinfeld script or some angst-ridden Woody Allen movie." So the mission statement of this website is to reject group-think and stereotypes.
Now dig on the way-enlightening views of Julia Gorin:

Blame it on Bush: An epic
So a nice young actress making a few million dollars a movie lets her Mexican boyfriend live off of her in the Long Island house she bought near her parents. They spend their time frolicking and going to anti-Bush rallies. The girl's name is Natalie Portman, and her live-off boyfriend is hot new acting sensation Gael Garcia Bernal who, appropriately enough, plays Che Guevara in "The Motorcycle Diaries." In interviews with Bernal--who is the current subject of much adulation among females of all ages — the 26 year-old readily admits that he is very comfortable living off women.

Soon enough, Portman "finds out" that the beautiful Mexican is cheating on her (the Latin thing hadn't tipped her off: a Latino cheating is one who cheats his nature by having only one woman at a time, and if such a Latin man exists, it's probably because he has Downs Syndrome). Needless to say, the princess kicks her Mexican playboy out and is now angrier than ever at George W. Bush. She goes on The Late Show and mocks the president and those who plan to vote for him, while offering praise for Teresa Heinz Kerry: "She's a sexpot!" (Of course the girl takes a shine to the lady: Teresa also happily supplies a mooching man with a lifestyle he otherwise couldn't afford.)

It goes on, but you get the point. Apparently it's totally cool to promote some stereotypes in the act of rejecting others. Or something. All I know is those damn Latins are really hot-blooded.
