To Mexicans that grew up reading him love him, he has been around for 60 years. Memin is a poor Cuban-Mexican kid with bug eyes, thick lips and protruding ears. The mischievous and caring boy helps his mother by selling newspapers and shining shoes. Memin stands for honesty, justice, tolerance.
So whats the big deal. It's a comic book character. Leave it at that. It's not the looks that count but the message.
Wal-Mart will remove all Memin Pinguin comic books from it's stores, and find another product to replace it that is made in some third world country, made on child labor and created in sweat shops. Problem solved. Thank you Wal-Mart for being so sensitive.
Alfred E. Neuman is not the most handsome white guy I know, but to call him racist is a bit over the line. Mad Magazine is an ICON. How about Popeye or Bluto, the fat guy, or Wimpy. Americans just want to stir the racist stew over and over until it is never over. Time to move on and focus on thre real important issues. What are the more important issues, you may ask. Hell if I know?
