Eh, Why The Hating, Doc?

On my ride home from school, I turned the radio to a popular station called Laugh USA. On the station I listened to a skit done by a man whose name I forgot. What he did was make fun of cartoon shows and characters. I only listened to two of his jokes, because the last one angered me beyond believe. The first joke was about how channels are blocking Speedy Gonzales cartoons. He said that it's because Speedy's supposedly racist to Mexicans around the world. The second one was how channels don't block Pepe Le Pew cartoons, showing how he is supposedly racist to French. His joke's angered me deeply, so I've decided to take my anger out on my blog. First off, Speedy and Pepe are stereotypically Mexican and French, respectively. How they are stereotyped has never been announced, so people just assumed it meant everything about them. Gonzales, for those who don't know, is a super fast Mexican mouse. Taking a look at that brief description, what is racist to Mexicans? Not a darn, dirty thing! What's racist is that Speedy's friends are usually slow and lazy, with one being so slow he carries a gun. To me, having slow and lazy mice is not insulting to Mexicans. What's even a larger slap in the face is that he's popular in Latin America, where he's supposedly racist! The fact of him being racist is completely over exaggerated and otherwise odd. Now on to Pepe. The skunk is of course French, and even more romantic. He's supposedly racist due to how he chases women, but let's not forget that that woman is a cat! It in no way shows a human chases another human! Le Pew is also called racist to how violently he chases that cat. What is odd to moi, is that it never shows or mentions him chasing that cat for that purpose alone. How can we just pay attention to a rumor, and not the fact of Coyote and Elmer Fudd trying to kill Road Runner and Bugs, respectively! The racist rumors ought to be put to bed and forced to stay there. I'm tired of people hating Pepe and Speedy for those reasons, so I hope this changes a few minds.
