WASHINGTON (Politically Illustrated) – Taking a trip to Arizona? Need to hide visible minorities? A Gringo mask is essential to preventing police from checking paperwork for illegal immigrants, comes in one color: white.

“It’s our way of saying, ‘You guys are out of control out there,’” Joe Zubi told the Toronto Sun, who is head of a Hispanic ad agency spearheading the effort.

Before going to Arizona, all illegal immigrants (or anyone needing to whiten up) can download a Gringo mask from Mr. Zubi’s website: http://www.gringomask.com to prevent stereotyping.

“I mean, here we are doing what we can to present Hispanics in a positive light,” said Mr. Zubi.

“This is a statement against racial profiling,” he said.
