Somebody interestingly said that working class latinos or immigrants in general do not care much or primarily about this kind of speech or imagery. Nothing could be further from the truth, they have human feelings and perceptions as well and the economical dependency makes people pretend to not care. Of course the people are offended, often for a very long time.
