I’m not greatly offended by it, but it’s a bit tacky and ignorant to sell it in the US.

Not only is it a very well known character in mexican pop culture, it’s also older than dirt.

And now it’s proof that even though you might not be a racist that doesn’t mean you are not prejudiced, you are really just seeing your own ignorance and sub-concious hatred.

Most black people I know ‘get’ that.

If you have any black friends, you should ask them if they fail to see it as well.
