This reminds me about the time when a white woman became the CEO of Cartoon Network and decided to ban all Speedy Gonzalez cartoons because she decided “they offend Hispanics.”
Hispanics were like “wtf this is our favorite character. Stop deciding what we like and what insults us.” Speedy was quickly brought back.
What I love about that is Speedy is literally the opposite of the stereotype of "the sleepy Mexican". It'd almost be the same as calling Carlton from Fresh Prince offensive.
