Heck, I don't read Vanity Fair and I'm not a Latina...but I'd certainly be offended by the remarks. I mean even if it is satire I still didn't see the humor in it. Sure the author of the editorial may have been trying to make a funny remark but the truth is many Latinos and Latinas are still faced with stereotypes and it's hard for the comments to be taken with a grain of salt because one person thinks it's funny. I'd be like saying that African American people are only good at sports or that Jewish people are all uptight money grubbers (not my opionions by the way). Ya just can't go around poking fun at a group... there's just nothing to accomplish by it.
