Editing Sexual objectification (section)

=== Latina women ===
Latina women face a particular form of sexual objectification based on [[Stereotypes of Latinos|stereotypes relating to Latina women.]] American media often portrays Latina women as being sexually promiscuous and curvaceous, having large breasts and buttocks, being melodramatic, or having a feisty attitude.<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=McLaughlin|first1=Bryan|last2=Rodriguez|first2=Nathian S.|last3=Dunn|first3=Joshua A.|last4=Martinez|first4=Jobi|date=2018-09-03|title=Stereotyped Identification: How Identifying with Fictional Latina Characters Increases Acceptance and Stereotyping|url=https://doi.org/10.1080/15205436.2018.1457699|journal=Mass Communication and Society|volume=21|issue=5|pages=585–605|doi=10.1080/15205436.2018.1457699|s2cid=149715074|issn=1520-5436|url-access=subscription}}</ref> Keller identifies three main stereotypes that contribute to the objectification of Latinas. (Cantina Girl, Suffering Senorita, and [[Femme fatale|Vamp]]). The “Cantina Girl” is characterized as being an alluring sexual presence. The “Suffering Senorita” is the Latina who goes “bad” due to her love of the (usually Anglo) love interest. Lastly, the “Vamp” is seen as beautiful but devious, and a psychological threat for her wit or charm.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Merskin|first=Debra|date=2007-05-29|title=Three Faces of Eva: Perpetuation of The Hot-Latina Stereotype in Desperate Housewives|url=https://doi.org/10.1080/10646170701309890|journal=Howard Journal of Communications|volume=18|issue=2|pages=133–151|doi=10.1080/10646170701309890|s2cid=144571909|issn=1064-6175|url-access=subscription}}</ref> All three of these categorizations stem from the sexual objectification of Latina women's bodies and identities.

Such sexual objectifications hold real-world consequences for Latina women. For instance, the prevalence of negative Latina stereotypes (such as [[Sexualization|hypersexualization]]) has led to a decrease in positive [[Social identity theory|in-group attitudes]] among the Latina community.<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Tukachinsky|first1=Riva|last2=Mastro|first2=Dana|last3=Yarchi|first3=Moran|date=2017-07-03|title=The Effect of Prime Time Television Ethnic/Racial Stereotypes on Latino and Black Americans: A Longitudinal National Level Study|url=https://doi.org/10.1080/08838151.2017.1344669|journal=Journal of Broadcasting & Electronic Media|volume=61|issue=3|pages=538–556|doi=10.1080/08838151.2017.1344669|s2cid=148590923|issn=0883-8151|url-access=subscription}}</ref>
