BE #1A

I never really found any importance to Speedy growing up.  I liked the cartoons when I grew up and watched them but never really thought of it being any significance to me at all.  I never thought of speedy Gonzales as being a bad stereotype of Mexicans of course I knew he was Mexican but as a child watching the cartoon I just found it funny and didn’t know any better I guess.  My whole family used to watch it though it was something we would all watch together even with our parents who did not speak Spanish and they still laughed as we watched the cartoon together.  I never heard my parents once complain how speedy Gonzales was offensive they enjoyed the show as well.

After reading the material and doing research on Speedy Gonzales it has alter my opinion.  They say that Speedy Gonzales is inappropriate for cartoons of the 21^st century playing on cartoon network but how could they say that how can cartoon network even mention them being inappropriate for children when cartoon like “Family guy” plays on carton network?  Many cartoons that my nephew watches on cartoon network are in appropriate for children they stuff they talk about are for adults.  There are times my nephews say things that they hear on these cartoons and its suppose to be cartoon network there suppose to play cartons appropriate for children well how is having cartoons that talk about sex and drugs appropriate for kids.  It makes me upset for them to even have the audacity to say that Speedy Gonzales is not appropriate for children.  When they allow these cartoons to play on the same network.
