I think sometimes the censors are afraid of things that aren’t really there.”

Yes indeed! I loved those cartoons! Aside from all that, Americans have gotten so PC that you can't laugh at anything anymore - unless it's so filthy that it's actually ceased to be funny and just gone directly to gross.

Another thing that's rather peculiar about this one is that Spanish culture itself has no reservations about poking fun at people for physical characteristics (although this is changing). People frequently went by nicknames - things such as El Gordo, El Moro, etc. - that would have gotten the PC police on your doorstep in an instant here in the US.

I'm sick of PC. Bring back fun.

I loved those cartoons too! The more absurd and violent, the better! I still enjoy them, after all these years.

Back in the 60's, when people started worrying about cartoon violence, Hanna-Barbera started putting out cartoons that were supposed to teach something (usually with a NWO theme). I HATED those shows! Give me my anvils and wild takes!

One show on my family's favorite Spanish channel is titled "El Gordo y La Flaca".
