People whine too much... Was there any German-American whining and bitching when Mike Myer's did "Dieter"? What about Hans and Franz? Hey, what about French-Americans whining about Pepe Le Pew? And what about Italian-Americans complaining about the the fact that every single big movie about Italians has a Mafia-theme?

And wasn't Speedy Gonzales taken off the air because of complaints, only to be put back on because the Hispanic community complained of his absence?

Yeah, but they're all White, and it's okay to make stereotypical comments against Whitey. However, weren't Asians moved up to "White" status in terms of discrimination? Or was that just for Affirmative Action in college admissions...

I'm Italian American and have always been appalled at the characterization of Italians by Chico Marx in The Marx Brothers films! Come to think of it, they are disrpespectful to mutes too. Ban those screen classics!

Lesbian or German?

the follow-on to Gay or Eurotrash?

Councilman John Liu (D-Flushing) denounced the magazine's tongue-in-cheek racial characterizations.
"People are outraged by this," he said. "I suppose someone thought it was funny to equate the Asian male with the so-called stereotypical gay man - which is ridiculous."

Oh, you start whining because Asians are included in a old game which those of European descent never bothered to complain about. And peopel aren't supposed to think of you as a Jessie?
