From the lawdog files..more on banned and censored cartoons.
The LawDog Files: Britain, I knew ye when ye were great.
They have already removed speedy gonzales from syndication because it is supposedly demeaning to hispanics..err latinos..err
If I remember correctly. Speedy won every fight he ever fought and was a hero to all the other mexican ratones.
All WWII cartoons depicting wartime caricatures of Germans and Japanese have been removed from circulation as well. Hell didn't we win that war?
I was lucky enough to get my hands on the most vile of Daffy Duck cartoons where they were frontier cavalry soliders defending the fort against indian attack with GUNS....Guess what? That was censored too.
Don't forget the countless cartoons that have been edited down to the technicolor equivalent of thorazine.
I think I'm going to go watch porky blow away some native americans.
Porky pig singing: One little two little three little indians....POW POW POW.... oh boy that still makes me laugh.

Well, they had to ban the Speedy cartoons! Speedy was poor and Mexican, but he was happy with his life. When he was unhappy, he did something about it. He solved his own problems instead of crying, "I'm poor and Mexican! Help me! Give me American food stamps so I can get cheese!" We can't have that sort of character encouraging people to do things like *gasp* take responsibility for their own lives instead of playing the race card!
Really, Hammer, what were you thinking?
I think Speedy was removed because he stole cheese. We can't have the archetype of a thief for Mexicans can we?
