Question

A very tanned white businessman in Texas adopts a stereotyped Hispanic persona to help him sell used cars. He creates commercials in which he speaks in an accent, wears a sombrero and a poncho, and plays "Jarabe Tapatío," or "The Mexican Hat Dance" song in the background. What is this an example of?

Answer 1

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there were no options attached, we can say the following.

This is an example of cultural appropriation.

What this businessman is doing is stereotyping Hispanic people that indeed they were like that, but 100 years ago. But bot today. Not even close.

It would be the exact same case if, in some South American country, a businessman would try to sell United States products, hiring a US citizen and making his wear clothes to look like Uncle Sam, and talking like Uncle Sam or wearing Quakers clothes and behave as colonists did during colonial America.

Answer 2

Adoption of elements from one culture by another, particularly when a dominant culture exploits aspects of a minority culture outside of its original cultural context and/or for personal advantage at the expense of the original culture.

So, Option A is the correct example for the above situation.

The other options are incorrect as:

• Option B is incorrect as it clearly is not racism as he adopted culture for personal gain he was not racist.

• Option C is incorrect as When someone is cognizant of their race and social status, they are said to be race-conscious.

• Option D is incorrect as The subcategory "living in connection to others and in society" was envisioned as a critical feature of the embodied self's ability to interact with others and participate in society.

Thus Option A is a correct example of the above situation.
