... need something to live on, they use their myths to have a sense of hope." This puts a false interpretation of these people in the mind of the viewer. The viewer takes this statement and weather he/she knows about it; they associate all Latin Americans to this idea. Thus, Latin Americans are seen as inferior to this person. Another problem with this episode is that the local authorities can't figure out what is going on until the "white" FBI agents come along and "enlighten" them.
