Houston Don, I'm talking about a product arm featuring spanish speaking performers created for the spanish speaking world. Fill in the names you want or new ones can be discovered. The american porn market is saturated with content so its time to expand to other markets.



I'm not disagreeing with you in general terms, I'm just pointing out that there are/have been attempts to provide that type of content already. Marketing in porn, like most other aspects of the industry, is fairly limited; both by the production companies and by the media that routinely disallow them to advertise in most outlets. Unlike the others, I think you're right that it's an area in need of more substantive content ("black porn" sells well to whites or I don't think so many would be chasing it).

The critism of this business aproach keeps marshalling down racial and xenophobic stereotypes to gross generalizations that are unfounded. Hispanics acheive the american dream in far greater numbers than blacks. The disrespect for the buying power of the latino dollar is stunning. Enjoy the slowdown and keep sticking your collective head in the sand.



I'm friends with a number of Latinos, currently going out with a very nice Latina, and interact with a bunch of others. Any observations I make will be anecdotal too but my other friends (various colors/races/ect) share a lot of the same stereotypes since most of the contact they have is with the illegals hanging out around paint stores and construction yards hoping to find work or those working in the Mexican food restaurants. I'm not sure if catering to such a niche using the old fashioned delivery system (DVD at the moment) will necessarily yield any great increase in sales though.

Really, these portrayals of all latins as dishwashers and criminals are more than just a little ignorant. Do a little research into how much money these people make before you speak.



I don't think many believe what you're claiming but they are "going with the numbers" of what they see. Latinos in the upper economic strata tend to stay within their own circles (which applies to other groups as well); as their numbers grow, the stereotypes will hold less sway.
