A Rant from A Reader

I am a big travel fan and travel at least 3-5 times a year, national and international ---- I love watching discovery, food network, PBS, and the Travel Channel; and I just saw a new program that was being advertised - Samantha Brown: Passport to Latin America

and although it seems to be a promising and interesting show, it upsets or better yet frustrates me that the majority of these shows that delve into the Latin culture always have an Anglo host as the expert and connoisseur of Latin cuisine and culture. I am honestly getting so tired of this, its like me going to Norway and acting like the expert of all Scandinavian things.

I am tired of seeing the curious, and hard-trying Anglo trying to pronounce the words correctly, or portraying the shy, befuddled, and quirky personality who is there to honestly look like a fool/fish out of water --- why not a LATINO????

Everyone wants in on the Latin market and world these days, but they just don't want a Latino on the forefront...
