Do they think he offers some kind of authentic American something-something? Do they like movies where everyone wears wifebeaters and smokes tiparillos?

I just found one of his movies (Vatos Locos) with Dutch subtitles. Every time they said "beaner" or "cholo" or beep it was translated just as "Mexican" or "Chinese", haha. The movie is basically like Idiocracy, but with no moral to the story.
My favorite parts are when, every time they want to introduce a Chinese character, they insert a shaky video clip, taken from a car, of the dragon arch of L.A. Chinatown.
Oh, and there's another great part when Chapa (supposedly aged 12 years to "almost 40" - as if he was 27 the first time we saw him) is dancing saying "I love this music"but the only music we hear is just the background score. I guess he couldn't get any songs licensed.
I was jokingly using "Dutchmen" as an old-fashioned generic for all Dutch and German people, too. I must have been inspired by all the ethnic slurs in Chapa's video. The fact t1354hat Germans want to collaborate with him, and Hollanders want need to see his video badly enough that they need to subtitle it

a hack everyone knows is irrelevant.
I guess such bashing is a real ego boost for those desperately bereft of talent.
I guess so, though I wouldn't presume to know your talents.
The work of every other film, actor, director, etc. is chatted about on the IMDb discussion boards with critical abandon. I inform you of this because, from the looks of your posting history/board activity, it's possible that you don't see that. I don't know what makes you a White Knight for Chapa's productions though. Still got a crush on Milkweed or something? You do know he's fat now, right?
