I'm gonna go ahead and take a mulligan here. (Let's face it, Carlos Lopez just left a taste in everyone's mouth) For the record, if the show took place in Detroit, for example, I'd be pretty upset unless all the characters were black.

What's wrong with that? Can you tell me how that harms you, having a kid with a Hispanic name on the show? Is the experience going to be ANY different? And if not, who cares? In what circumstance, please tell me, is it OKAY to have a Hispanic in a cartoon? Frankly, having a show full of entirely WASPY white dudes in this day and age is friggin' embarrassing. So?

Kids are more likely to watch the half hour commercial, I mean, cartoon, if there is a character they can identify with, so the cartoon has a ratially diverse human cast- we've got a white male, a hispanic male, and an asian female - and this upsets you? What, are only White, Anglo-Saxon Prodestant Males allowed to enjoy / but transformers where you come from? They’re not trying to be politically correct, they’re trying to sell toys.
