This will not end in fire at all

Speedy Gonzalez movie to be made, have George Lopez, be politically correct. Yeah, that'll be great.

Older audience: Hey, Speedy Gonzalez, I loved those cartoons! I'll take my kids to go see that!

George Lopez: And it's not racist like it used to be!

Older audience: ...Speedy Gonzalez isn't racist.

George Lopez: Yes, he is. But not anymore!

Older audience: Why are you making a movie about a character you think is racist?

George Lopez: So that you'll want to kill yourself even more as you witness the abomination we've created in the name of providing kids with imagination-free, merchandise-driven crapfests!

Young audience: We'll pretty much eat up anything so long as you can fill a two minute trailer with talking animals, dated pop culture references, and CGI.

I dunno, maybe they're racist because of the overdone accents? Because... real Mexicans... don't have accents?

Or they're racist because it was white guys doing the Mexican accents, but it won't be racist if it's a Latino doing a Mexican accent?

It's hard to keep up with this sort of thing.
