Graffiti or some might say art murals that span across freeways in Los Angeles. A certain mural in Boyle Heights has residents mad. I got this article in the Los Angeles Times March 20 in the B section. The mural shows what people might classify as stereotypes that effect how people think of the Latino race. There's no American flag in the mural and the mural also shows beer swilling men, fat women, stray dogs, and illegal street vendors.
The typical homogenous culture in Los Angeles where a lot of the Mexican culture lives wants this change. The people of this community wanted to be portrayed in a positive light. This raises issues in the environment because the way people look at the latino race. Driving by the mural everyday causes this image to be remain in your head. Latinos are more then what this mural shows. Latinos are the backbone of this country and the fastest rising race in the country.
