PornHub Categorized Latinas With A Taco And We’re Pretty Sure They Regret It Now

By April 27, 2016 at 11:07 am

Yes most Latinos love tacos, but in 2016 you’d think people knew better than to generalize and stereotype all Latinos. Latin Americans are as diverse as their cuisine and the *insert sarcastic voice* geniuses at PornHub are learning that the hard way.

In a clever, yet ignorant burst of creativity, PornHub launched a service where you can text an emoji that represents the type of porn you’re in the mood for and you can receive a video from that category, for example:

It totally makes sense that Russia, Japan, Korea, India and France are represented by their flags, right?

What were Latinas tagged as? Take a wild guess…

Yep, Latinas are represented by a taco. A TACO!

We feel ya ‘Ye.

Latinas obviously were not having it:

Now, if you really want to be creative, PornHub, think of something less stereotypical.

Harvard-Bound Latina Daughter Of Undocumented Immigrants Accepted To Four Ivy League Schools

Harvard-Bound Latina Daughter Of Undocumented Immigrants Accepted To Four Ivy League Schools

With her family crowded around her computer, Santa Ana High School senior Stephany Gutiérrez anxiously checked the status of her college applications. Like most students, Gutiérrez had her heart settled on top schools but unlike so many, she was accepted into not one but four Ivy League colleges.

In an emotional video, Gutiérrez and her family react as they check the status of her admission to find that she was accepted into Columbia University, Brown, and Dartmouth.

Gutiérrez was recently accepted into Harvard, Brown, Dartmouth, and Columbia.

The daughter of undocumented immigrants and with dreams to become a pro-bono attorney, Gutiérrez was accepted into four of the five colleges she applied to. No surprise, she also got into her first choice, Harvard.

“It was difficult, my parents are still illegal immigrants here in the United States. Their support in particular has been excellent, my father and mother have always told me that education is the way to get ahead,” Gutiérrez explained in a recent interview with Univision.

In the video, Gutierrez reads off her acceptance status to each school to her extremely thrilled parents.

“I got in!” she can be heard saying of her acceptance to Columbia University and then the other Ivy League schools.

“It took like an hour or two for the news to settle in,” Gutierrez explained in an interview with CBS. “I was in disbelief. I was like, wait, actually, let me go back and read all of it, maybe I missed a part, but, yeah, it’s starting to settle in. It’s very exciting.”

Gutierrez’s mentor Gloria Montiel-Itzel, an alumna of both Santa Ana High School and Harvard, underlined in a recent interview that it takes more than good grades to get into Ivy League schools.

“I think it’s a commitment to something other than themselves,” she explained about Gutierrez and two other seniors (Oziel Flores and Cielo Echegoyen) in her class who were also recently accepted to Harvard. “And I think all three of them, in different ways, have really shown that they care more about their community, their school and making things better for others, and I think that’s something that Harvard really loves.”
