Portrayal of the Latino (others) accent as inferior! Is there a world-class stipulated accent?

In this edition of the show Celebrity apprentice, specifically during the exchange of words between Lisa and Dayana in the 8:46-8:55minutes and Aubrey O’Day’s imitation of Dayana’s accent in the 10:03-1013minutes from the above web-clip. Personally listening to the participants' arguments (during the above timings) and paying close attention to their body language raised a red flag of the average Americans' perception of the Lationo (Dayana’s) accent as banal!
What is your take on this?
