Last week was the premiere of a certain movie called something like «One day without Mexicans», I haven’t seen it nor I plan to, but it calls my attention that it was said to be a new movie by a «young» movie director who is around 45 but this must be his first movie.
Why would something like that call my attention? Maybe because, years ago, around 1990 (14 years ago) I saw a movie that had exactly the same name AND the same plot.
It’s not a new movie then?, Is it a remake? No, the director claims he wrote the script, the distributors of the film claim that the movie is so new and original that people are mad about it, it’s announced as the best thing since sliced bread (for those who believe sliced bread is a good thing), and nobody seems to know about that other movie that looks exactly like this once except it’s over a decade older.
Still, the idea was not bad, it was actually terrible, Why not a day without Spaniards, Peruvians, Colombians or Paraguayans?, Why not a day without Chinese, Irish, Russians or South Africans?, Why not a day without workers?, Why not a day without buying anything?
Some people still can’t seem to understand what a Latin is, who Latin were, what is the latin language and what is had to do with Spanish, or how did 80% of a continent ended up speaking Spanish, who are Americans, north americans or southamericans, the difference between salsa the food, salsa the music, Spain and mexico (Slim Shady? For God’s sake!).
Stupidity is the easiest policy.
