I don't normally watch George Lopez simply cause he's not funny but doesn't he routinely stereotype Mexicans?

It's not something I readily understand... I'm Irish/Scot-Irish, and I take zero offense to jokes about drunkenness or brawling, or potatoes, or any of that. None, never have.
I always thought Speedy Gonzales was the hero in those cartoons?
What next, Elmer Fudd and Porky Pig go to speech therapy? Bugs does a PSA on vegan lifestyles? Taz narrates a documentary on the illegal trafficking of rare animals and how they don't ever seem to build shipping crates strong enough?

Well, there is that one commercial presently running where the director keeps telling Elmer to re-do his line, and say he's hunting for rabbits, not wabbits.

I also remember a few other Looney Tunes that took a beating in the last few years. One was titled "One Little Indian" in which the Indian had a feather, rode a canoe, and did the whoo, whoo, whoo thing. The other had bugs as a droopy slave type on a southern plantation and said something like "I's get to work right away, Massa. Please don't beat me." People need to realize that these are cartoons that were made many years ago. Damn good cartoons, too.

Seems to me that most people have to little to do and it allows them to much time to "Think". They then become hyper sensitive and have to bitch and moan because their lives lack any kind of real meaning.

I am a firm believer in giving people something to do. I say take the whole lot of whiners and drop them off naked with buck knives in Somalia. Might solve more then one problem.

So I guess a Little Black Sambo cartoon is out??

Poor Don Cheadle might have had some work too...

Watch out for a lawsuit from the Martians stating that Marvin The Martian is stereotypical that all Martians want to blow up earth and rule the universe and wear upside down broom bristles on their helmets. The audacity of Warner Brothers.

Well, Marvin IS black...

"Speedy's going to be a misunderstood boy who comes from a family that works in a very meticulous setting, and he's a little too fast for what they do. He makes a mess of that. So he has to go out in the world to find what he's good at."

That path becomes clearer once Speedy befriends a gun-shy race-car driver.

Are you fuckin serious?
