Soon
after visiting these[otros]
sites you receive a ‘friendly’ looking e-mail, announcing a nice
Mariachi Festival or advertizing a Salsa theme cruise to Baja. When you
open it, a cute talking Chihuahua in a poncho and a
pink sombrero
appears on the screen and delivers the following message with a thick
sabroso Spanish accent:
‘Querido
turista, curador, crítico, empresario:
There is no moral, physical or social repercussions to your actions in
cyberspace. Digital technology has finally allowed us to create an
inoffensive millennial mythology of the Latino, the Indigenous and the
Immigrant Other. We are part of this new mythology. We are meant to
cater to your most intimate fears and
desires.
