LULAC, the "League of United Latin American Citizens," the oldest and most respected Hispanic voters' organization, has already made its views known that it does *NOT* consider the cartoon character Speedy offensive, their spokesman remarking, "I don't know a single Mexican that doesn't like Speedy." Cartoon Network Latin America, an affiliate of Cartoon Network south of the border, regularly airs Speedy and he's one of their most popular characters. Yet Cartoon Network has made it clear that the character, banned from the air since 1999 in the US, will stay off the air in the US.

Now lemme get a little preachy here. This shows what I've always maintained: "political correctness" and "sensitivity" etc. aren't about being "sensitive" to minorities or people of color. It's a crutch for guilty liberal white people to feel good about themselves. It doesn't mean a damn thing that Mexicans themselves do like Speedy Gonzalez---some white folks at Cartoon Network have decided they shouldn't oughta like Speedy, and that's that. The important thing, you see, is for those nice white liberals at Cartoon Network to feel good about themselves, with a nice big pat on the back for themselves for being so "enlightened" and "sensitive."
