I am Mexican and can't relate to his comedy at all. I hate the fact that he works so hard to perpetuate (bad) stereotypes. I hate the fact that people like GL and Carlos Mencia have become idols of sorts. Yuck.

Yeah i remember when Mencia first came out he was funny, but as of lately not so much. He's been more on the racist side of fence. George Lopez is flat out funny, and I'm not Mexican.

I can totally relate to George Lopez & others like him, being white, having grown up in El Paso. I am such a fan of Mexican-American humor. There was this show that was on one of the Mexican channels called "Que Loco's!" It hosted Chicano comedians doing stand-up. Does it still air? That rocked!

I also agree w/the comments on Carlos Mencia. Where did he come from all of the sudden & why him? He's totally overrated. There's far better & sharper Latino/a comedic talent than that dude.

I think Carlos Mencia is funny and not nearly as anti-American or racist as Lopez. Maybe because he makes fun of all ethnicities including his own.

I can't speak for everyone else, but I don't find him as racist, as, just not funny or terribly creative.
