You might be surprised to know that I'm also against that. For the record, I am mexican-american too. When I heard a Fred Loya radio commercial ac ouple of years ago, I was surprised to hear all of the customer recommendations with Hispanic names from different parts of Texas. My thought was that if I were an Anglo, I would feel "left out", thinking that maybe that product doesn't really care for my business. They need to appeal to as wide an audience as possible; no reason to exclude.

I looked up the web site your photo came from (her official web site). It sounds like the "Jackie" commercials, from 2007, are the highlight of her career thus far.

Probably. Talking about her longevity in the entertainment industry is still probably more compelling than talking about the racist antics of local business men though. Especially when there are pictures!

She got her boyfriend to take pictures with his iPhone. Very sad, maybe she can be on more commercials here again if she's lucky.

So what your trying to say is he only doesn't like poor Mexicans? I'm a little bit confused

As an Anglo I had Fred Loya Insurance and didn't even care about commercials. Why would I need a white person trying to sell me car insurance? I need good convenient car insurance at an affordable price.

NO experience with them...but from a local radio station....good luck if you need to actually file a claim. I do not know, just sharing what I heard.....if you have filed a claim with no issue, PLEASE post and correct any "false" info floating out there. I stick with USAA....tried and true on a PERSONAL level.
