I'm so sick of this "politically correct" bs.
----------------------------
"Politically correct" is a derogatory term made up by people who wish to continue to insult other ethnic groups. There is no reason to insult other groups of people, and what you are calling "politically correct" is simply a set of guidelines to avoid doing so.
As far as the Speedy Gonzales song goes, it is potentially insulting to Mexicans. (And it's not a spin-off of the Loony Tunes character.) I can't say how most Mexicans feel about it, but I can say that I was a kid when I heard the song the first time, and I thought that it implied that typical Mexicans are lazy, drink a lot, and live in cockroach infested homes. I would be offended if the song were about my ethnic group.
You ought to re-evaluate your sense of humor if you need to make fun of ethinc groups to get a laugh.
