In fact, I\u2019m struggling to think of a single Hispanic character in ANY animated media, save for my namesake in My Little Brony (whose Hispanic heritage is touched on lightly, if at all), to actually be voiced by a Hispanic actor (and I\u2019m guilty of vocal blackface, whiteface, orangeface...) Hispanic characters in media are often portrayed as illegal immigrants or drug dealers. Or both. On The Simpsons, we have a whopping TWO Hispanic characters\u2014one of them is batcaveing <i>Bumblebee Man<\/i>, and the other one is Dr. Nick <i>maybe<\/i>. I don\u2019t sound like cherryin\u2019 Dr. Nick. I don\u2019t know a SINGLE Hispanic person that sounds like Dr. Nick. AND he\u2019s incompetent! But APU, the hard-working ladies man with a DOCTORATE in COMPUTER SCIENCE, is the problem? <a href=\"http:\/\/rainbowdash.net\/url\/872979\" title=\"http:\/\/fi.rdn.io\/file\/mrmattimation-20181029T043246-4jec6ln.png\" class=\"attachment thumbnail\" id=\"attachment-872979\" rel=\"nofollow external\">http:\/\/rainbowdash.net\/url\/872979<\/a>"}
