Mexican comic book character called racist

[PhätTony]

This is where I draw the line on racial intolerance. This is going beyond too far to complain about how a character who has been around since the 1940's is a racist portrayal. Some people just look for things to complain about! If there is no one to fight then they are not happy. This just makes me sick!

lol, at first glance I thought he was a monkey... But seriously, that's stupid that anyone would be offended by that. It's just a comic book, and people's just need to chillax. True Story...

People need to get a life, if it offends you, don't watch, read, or listen.
