Mmm, really good food? Like nachos and tortillas and stuff:)

I sort of also think of Fernando Sucre from Prison Break (dunno whether he was meant to be Spanish or Mexican but his name was pretty:) i.e. nothing to do with the prison related stuff)

But I did just watch some sort of border security usa stuff yesterday, where illegal immigrants from mexico were seen as an issue. Oh and maybe also air pollution and overpopulated cities perhaps in Mexico?

Normally I'd try and justify my unsubstantiated opinions but if its meant to be stereotypes I don't think it's necessary. Dunno if that's general stereotypes perse but it's what comes to my mind right now:)

Oh, here's another random though Mexican hat dance:D *plays tune in head*

I refrain from having an opinion, but friends have joked about them as being poor drug dealers. Not that they're racists, at least, not in other circumstances.

Hey,
I think of Old el Paso ads on TV.
But mostly I think of tacos, the Mexican wave and the big hats
(I cant remember what you call them - the oversized cowboy hats).
Hope that helps.:)
