Disney Sucks

Before I get started I want everyone to know that I am no the least bit racist. I don't judge anyone, except on common sense, and never on their gender or ethnicity. I just don't tick that way. Of course that means I really get pissed when someone goes the racist route and I have to deal with it in one way or another.

Which brings me to . . .

Handy Manny. Manny is an animated handy man on one of the Disney Channel's morning children's shows.

Now Manny is admirable. He is a Mr. Fix it that can repair anything with his trusty tool box
.
This is where my trouble with Manny starts. Many is clearly of Hispanic descent and it is a problem to me that he has talking tools.

You read that correctly. Manny has tools that talk and move on their own. Now in a kid's show that should not be too much of a problem, but for me I see the issue.
Manny is apparently some sort of dope smoking or shroom eating Hispanic handy man who talks to his tools and believes that they talk back. That my friends, reeks of racism in the worst way.

I know a few Hispanics and they are good people. My other problem is with this . . .

This is Mr. Lopart. The only Anglo (this is what we call Whitey in Texas History) on the show is Mr. Lopart. He is pretty much the Anti-Manny.

He is white.
He is stupid.
He refuses to let Manny help him.
Mr. Lopart is a stereotype of the worst sort.

So there you have it. Disney puts out a show about a drug using Hispanic Handy Man who is faced with a Hispanic hating white character on a regular basis.

While stereotypes may make my life easier, it does not mean that they are right. No one should rely on stereotypes, especially the Disney Channel.
