It\u2019s because I don\u2019t have to be me. I\u2019m lanky, pasty, terrifyingly skinny, and taller than Bigfoot. I have huge, puffy lips and an ungodly forehead. My facial hair grows like pubic hair, and my regular hair looks like if Shaggy Rogers did meth. I don\u2019t have to be... any of those things. I can make a cartoon where I play a buff black guy on Mars. I can be a hairless dwarf who\u2019s just escaped from a government lab. I can be the President of the United States of America, and I don\u2019t even have to win Ohio. I can make whatever I want and I can be whoever I want. And nobody can tell me I\u2019m not that person. Because they can\u2019t see my face. That\u2019s why, despite everything I\u2019ve said tonight, I don\u2019t despise Bumblebee Man. Or Consuela. Or Dr. Nick, or Speedy Gonzalez, or Sheen Estevez. Because they\u2019re cartoons. They can do and be ANYTHING. And I think that\u2019s magical. And I\u2019d like to think if I were Indian, I\u2019d feel the same way about Apu."}
