Why were they offended
The Mexicans had no problem with it. It's the social justice warriors who want to be offended on behalf of everybody else. Cultural appropriation they called it. They also don't like it when non-Mexicans sell and/or eat Mexican food. Eating tacos makes me a racist? It's FOOD! It is meant to be eaten and enjoyed by everyone no matter what culture you're from. I live in America, a melting pot of cultures.
Remember when CN cancelled Speedy Gonzales repeats because they thought it would offend Mexicans?
ACTUAL Mexicans were outraged! Needless to say, it was quietly returned to the schedule.
Similar deal here, I've seen no actual Mexicans get offended over it but a ton of sheltered white people.
On that note, Italians absoutely ADORE Mario, yet nobody gets offended on behalf of them about him being a major Italian sterotype. Maybe because Italians are usually white?
