5 controversial Latino videos

Delfin Quishpe prays in front of an image of the Twin Towers.

These five Latino-themed videos have inspired heated debates – and not always on purpose.

The Latino Comedy Project's 300

Quote: "Mexicans, tonight we dine in San Diego!"

This spoof of Zack Snyder's 300 features a mob of Mexicans – one of them pregnant – crossing the border armed with brooms, gardening tools and bags of oranges.

The Amazing Racist: Illegal Immigrants

Quote: "Look at [the day laborers] over there just standing… like animals."

The Amazing Racist (comedian Ari Shaffir) picks up a group of day laborers and offers them work, only to drive them to an Immigrations and Customs Enforcement office.

The Job

Quote: "I need two certified public accountants."

A middle-aged Hispanic man drives up to an office building, takes his pick of CPAs, CFOs and CEOs, and proceeds to pack them all in the bed of his pickup truck for a day of labor.

Delfín Quishpe's "Torres Gemelas"

Quote: "Cuando me fui a Nueva York, pense encontrarme con mi amorcito. Ella vivia en Nueva York y trabajaba en Torres Gemelas. Una llamada la recibi, solo me dijo 'adios mi amor.' Un mal recuerdo, yo lo vivi, los terroristas la exterminaron."

Ecuadorian "electro-cumbia" act Delfín Quisphe produced this painfully sincere yet naive dance song about the death of his girlfriend and many others on September 11, 2001.

Anticristo: Daddy Yankee + Reggaeton

Quote: "El reggaetón es esa mierda que sale en la radio las 24 horas del dia, demostrando que el apocalipsis a empezado. Pero ahora en lugar de matarnos con diluvios, la providencia nos quiere joder tirandonos cagada en los oidos."

A Spanish hater with a voice changer, El Anticristo has ridiculed RBD and emo. In this video, he unloads on reggaetón, a genre made for "pendejos y anormales."
