Mayor Viallargosa is Latino...sometimes

Here is an op-ed piece by Gregory Rodriguez in the Los Angeles Times about instances when the media choose to focus on a public figure's ethnicity.

Transformers (SPOILER INSIDE)

So...the ONLY autobot to die is the black one??!

(okay, so i think more than one of the voice actors who played the transformers were black, BUT, Jazz is the only one who is clearly "black.")

And Jazz dies mostly as a result of his own hubris and arrogance?? And Megatron has no trouble killing him while he can't seem to best the others??!

F!

Also, when we meet Jazz, Optimus Prime tells us that the autobots learned to speak by listening to earth's radio and TV. Interesting then, that all the autobots EXCEPT JAZZ!!! speak like normal people. They sound intelligent. They make smart jokes. EXCEPT JAZZ!!! who sounds like he was ripped from the extras casting pool of Soul Plane.

*sigh*
