Yet Another Classic American Comics Introduction to the History of Racialized Representation in America or Golden Age Anthropology 101
I love classic comics. I loathe what comics did to my mind.
There's my problem--the technicolor paper fantasy worlds of comics provided and provide a world of escape and entertainment; but this entertainment trains the mind to move/think/react/judge/hate/love/lust in specific ways that are inescapable (Warner Brother's cartoons, documented in the Speedy Gonzales chapter of Tex[t]-Mex, work in a similar fashion--I love them, too.).
In any event, blogger at Golden Age Comic Book Stories does a madly talented job curating provocative representations of covers (and sometimes stories) from the comic book golden age... Here are some, just posted in three categories that I have devised: World Cultures; Knowing the Enemy; and, because you've asked for it, another installment of Bizarre Caucasians in Print.

Target targets demographics with Hispanic Sweets
Attention all US Spanish speakers, these Valentine's classics are not for you, just for Hispanics. When I picked up my bag of "El Dulce Oficial del Amor" the tag on shelf of the Target Valentine's Shop read: "Hispanic Sweet."
Blame Target for the this: But for the labeling? No. The culprit was in Boston's backyard! The venerable Necco Factory came up with the Hispanic golosinas category.
Lovingly create candy Haikus for any Hispanic love interest and string hearts imprinted in Castellano: Te Amo (in two yummy sabores). Hola. Amiga. Dulce and Beso.
Limbaugh's proficient Mandarin
I don't relish giving Mr. Rush L any more airtime. However, thank me later for this gem. Have a listen, he's quoting China's president Hu Jintao. If you were looking for key insights about such an important official visit, Mr Limbaugh's highly trained ear will put it all into perspective.
Have a listen:

EL TRIUNFO DEL AMOR on The SOUP | Telenovelas Hit the US Mainstream
I am a confessed addict to EVA LUNA--whose storylines have devolved of late--so I HAVE TO take note of The Soup's skewering of TRIUNFO DEL AMOR that just went live; gracias to QUE FREGADOS for the link!
