Being Lazy


Although this characteristic is broad and touches all races, it seems as if the title of "being lazy" was given to Hispanics. The image that gave off the idea of Hispanics being lazy is the picture of a man leaning on a cactus, sleeping under his enormous sombrero. In my opinion, the image is somewhat amusing. If you were to walk down a neighborhood in Santa Ana, California , you would notice Hispanics sitting around their porch and talking to relatives. It looks as if they had not a care in the world and could sit there forever. An example of a lazy Hispanic would be the typical lazy uncle. He claims to have applied for 10 jobs, when really he was at home drinking and watching channel 34, Univision. Younger Hispanics start being lazy because their mothers "baby" them too much. As soon as they enter their teen years, they become lazy, especially in academics and chores. Lack of motivation in school leads to graduating high school on straight C's, which leads to living in a cramped home with 10 other relatives. Other Hispanics break out of this stereotype and make a better lives for themselves. Hispanics: Lazy or Laid-back?
