Eleven cartoons that prominently featured stereotypical black characters (and a few passing jokes about Japanese people, as was the case with Coal Black and de Sebben Dwarfs and Jungle Jitters) were withdrawn from distribution in 1968 and are known as the Censored Eleven. There has been some success in returning these cartoons to the public; in 1999 all Speedy Gonzales cartoons were banned because of their alleged stereotyping of Mexicans, but because the level of stereotyping was minor compared to the World War II era cartoons as well as the protests of many Hispanics who said they were not offended and fondly remembered Speedy Gonzales cartoons from their youth, these shorts were made available for broadcast again in 2002. What can be concluded about cartoons from the above passage? OPTIONS     1) Cartoons were used by their creators to feed the prejudices and biases that they were used to.   2) Cartoons merely reflected the ignorance and bigotry of the society they were created in.   3) Hispanics have a greater liking for cartoons than Mexicans.   4) Racial stereotypes about the Japanese, Jews and the Germans in cartoons were worse than those of the Mexicans.   5) Bugs Bunny was a racial stereotype. discuss | yesterday's solution | more questions Tip of the Day The summary of a passage should not contain personal opinions, judgmental statements or conclusions.
