It's sad when cartoon characters get dragged into societal debates

Is Dora the Explorer an illegal immigrant?

Dora the Explorer: illegal immigrant?: Cartoon character becomes unlikely symbol of heated debate 

[The image of Dora the Explorer was created by Debbie Groben of Sarasota, Florida, for a contest sponsored by the fake news site FreakingNews.com]

I am particularly bothered by those who think Dora is a conspiracy to get Americans to accept illegal immigrants and Spanish language as the norm. These wingnuts are probably the same people who protested Tinky Winky (the purple Teletubby) and thought he was gay. Sometimes a beloved children's show character really is just a beloved children's show character, guys.
