The elaborate hoax allegedly concocted by California stay-at-home mom Sherri Papini — who claimed two Hispanic women kidnapped her at gunpoint — is a “slap in the face” to all Latinos, advocates told The Post on Friday.Papini, 39, of Redding, California, was charged Thursday years after making international headlines and sparking a three-week search in late 2016. Authorities said her sensational story was indeed pure fiction — riling the League of United Latin American Citizens.“Once again, we’re attacking Latinos and putting them into a box and using xenophobic and racist attitudes toward Latinos,” LULAC’s Texas director, Rudy Rosales, told The Post during an exclusive interview. “She’s perpetuating a negative stereotype of Latinos in general. That’s unacceptable and shameful, quite frankly.”
