When hating Mexicans interferes with hating the Chinese

Lou Dobbs
CNN

Dear Mr. Dobbs,

You're doing a bang-up job of inciting anger against Mexicans. It's become the central theme of your daily show on CNN. Take Friday's show for instance. The first three stories were about the problem of Mexican immigration--it took up nearly half your air time. That's not unusual. Stories about the "Mexican problem" dominate every broadcast.

Some might argue that stories more deserving of CNN's attention are being crowded out by your anti-Mexican tirades. They'd point to the war, Social Security privatization, and Tom DeLay's troubles as the kinds of stories CNN should air instead of these diatribes. Although I disagree with them on the importance of those stories, I am concerned that all of the Mexican-hating is interfering with opportunities to bash the Chinese.

I have a story idea to help you beef up your anti-Chinese coverage. A couple of months ago, Ofjoshua and I bought an Incredible Hulk bobblehead toy for our youngest grandson. It has a button you can press to hear the Hulk say things like "You cannot escape Hulk" and "The Hulk will smash you."

After listening to it a couple of times, I noticed that the Hulk seemed to have a Chinese accent. Sure enough, when I turned the bobblehead over, I saw that it was made in China. Then, I noticed that the Incredible Hulk looked more like a big-headed Bruce Lee than Lou Ferrigno. I'm enclosing links to the photo and an audio MP3 file so that you can see what I mean.

I decided to check out the web site belonging to the toy's maker, Way Out Toys, to learn more. I was shaken by what I found. They've done the same thing to Spiderman, Wolverine, and the Green Goblin.

Now I know that we should be grateful to the Chinese for lending us the money we needed to fund our tax cuts, but we can't allow communists to take control of our most cherished heterosexual cartoon characters. What would Captain America think? You need to do a story about this.

Heterosexually yours,

Gen. JC Christian, patriot.
