YMMV / Born in East L.A.

• Awesome Music/Moment of Awesome: "Everywhere around the world, they’re coming to America!"
• Memetic Mutation:
  • "Was sappening?"
  • "Welcome to the back of the bus."
• Retroactive Recognition: Jason Scott Lee is one of the five immigrants Rudy was trying to teach.
• Values Resonance: With the subjects of illegal immigration and deportation of Mexican-Americans becoming major policy points in the presidency of Donald Trump, the film's themes have never been more relevant.
