General question I was wondering about on the way home: is Speedy Gonzales a bad stereotype? Should I be ashamed that I enjoyed all of the cartoons starring him without feeling guilty?
There are much worse, less well-known characters out there, but why does Speedy get singled out? Is it his costume, is it his accent? I honestly don't know what to think. Since it is Hispanic Heritage month, I thought this may be relevant.
I'll ponder this for a little while longer and see if I can form a more complete thought.
