“I hope to God Trinidad isn’t suggesting that migrant workers are pure, naive innocents, because that’s the vibe I’m getting here.”

Just thought of this in the shower and wanted to get it off my chest. It seems when any minority is represented in any medium, suddenly that’s supposed to represent that entire race.

Its like when you’re the only Asian in the room and the way you behave is going to determine how all the White people think of Asians.

But when I wrote this it was just about a guy. The race could’ve easily been interchangeable but I chose to go with the archetype/stereotype. (But “Space Mexican” was still a funny title)

Its interesting that, when presented with a character of a certain minority, you thought of the race rather than the individual– though I can’t blame you because I just wanted to make a short story and not a character study… and I put “Mexican” in the title.

Hey, I’m always up for an interview or whatever. Thanks for being honest in your review and lately little bits of the follow up: “Hear No Evil” are forming in my head.

Most likely it would focus on a filipina workers sent to Japan as entertainers. Yes, that sort of entertainer.

Still brewing in my head and you probably won’t see it for a while.

Thanks, Jackie!

I was going by the Wikipedia definition, but I guess I was confused. (Looking at the article again, it does say that the final vote goes to comic professionals.) Are the nominations still selected by a five-member panel?
