It's not so much that all theme parties can be offensive (ex. sleepover theme, star wars night, themed after a show/movie) but it's this particular one that is just blatantly stereotypical. Being Latina, and Mexican at that, I can find humor in it because Mexicans joke about it but it's a different story when an entire party is thrown to ridicule or mock situations most Americans don't bother to learn about. Not every Mexican came here illegally, cuts grass or has seven babies. Perhaps better judgement should have been used.
