“And it’s unfortunate, but it’s part of the Latino culture, isn’t it, with the Latino the man. And he’s the provider. And we’re the boss, and unfortunately we still have a lot of Latinos with the mentality that the woman belongs in the kitchen . That’s a reality of the Latino male chauvinist culture. And I think that’s exactly what happened.”
