    I don’t think you realize the character is 70 years old… In 1953 name any other positive depiction on American TV. Hell, let’s split the difference. What was the best one as recent as 1988?

    And Speedy wasn’t the stereotype, Slowpoke was.

    Did you start talking about him halfway thru?

    And this isn’t just like, my opinion man.

    More than a few people have asked over the last 70 years, there’s been surveys and I think even a legit sociological study. It’s not a random question that no one’s ever though of before.

    The answer is pretty much always the same, except maybe very recently because reparations has improved a lot just in the last decade.

        Yeah…

        That’s literally why Speedy was “canceled” and need an international movement by Hispanic people for him to come back

        I literally just said that
