The cartoon clips below have been banned from television for being politically "incorrect" because some found the portrayal of Mexicans in these cartoons to be "offensive."
I have always been a big fan of Warner Brothers cartoons, the Warner characters were funnier and more subversive than the boring Disney characters, I am part Hispanic and I never thought that these cartoons were bad. In fact, growing up in Los Angeles, I thought that Speedy was real cool. I only wished I was as fast as him.
Enjoy!

I don't think that Speedy Gonzalez is offensive at all, and I am a Latino. But I can see how some people might find it a bit offensive, especially the Mexican "accents." People need to get a sense of humor!
