Such a presence can contributes to the media-generated stereotype of the limited aspirational level of the community in the so-called 'white world,' much in the same way that negative portraits of African-Americans create a form of internal colonialization through media fixations upon Black criminals, for example, as opposed to Black civic and professional leaders, although such leaders exist. (Moore, 1997)

The possibility of some community individuals being affected by internal colonialization should not be lightly dismissed, even if some Hispanic communities have been able to counteract its effects with cultural neighborhood pride. Even groups such as immigrant Hispanics, that may vocally manifest strong group pride and idenitification may still, through the process of internal colonialism, assume that whites are more apt to become professionals and to suceed within the context of certain professions. Although much criticized today as self-defeating in nature, Blauner's hypothesis at the time the author first advanced it in the 1960's was an important sociological amendment to the old assimilation theory that held merely providing formerly or currently marginalized groups with opportunities, or even simply removing legal barriers to education, or linguistic barriers through English language classes for Hispanics, would be enough to easily correct the effects of past societal injustices.
