A small Mexican restaurant on Van Nuys Boulevard. Immigrants from Mexico established this restaurant for the community but mostly for their friends, family, and other native Spanish speakers. Having a place to hang out besides your house makes you feel more a part of the community. The social problem being depicted is ignorance towards minorities particularly in assuming that they are illegal aliens. Immigrants are seen as not”American enough”.
A car dealership where the signs are all completely in Spanish off Van Nuys. After immigrating to America from a Spanish speaking country, it is easy to find a niche of other Spanish speakers like yourself. Although they may not be immigrants running the car dealership, they sure are catering to them. This is common in highly populated Hispanic communities. Most businesses run almost entirely in Spanish because their largest demographic is Spanish-speakers. The social problem being depicted is that people are trying to push immigrants out even though their communities are well-established and now have a niche in American culture.
