I do not see it as a double standard, at least not in the manner being described here.

I am sure most of us have had situations where we have cursed a family member under our breath or got in a fight with a sibling. No big deal. Let someone out side the family dk the same and we get all decensive.

Maming fun or joking about ones "own kind" is OK. When you make fun of others especially as a white person given our history things change. Kind of like a KKK member making a jok e about blacks as opposed to Cosby making the same joke. I doubt the intent would be the same.

Well things were different back in about 1956 weren't they?


speedy gonzales pat boone - YouTube

SPOKEN: It was a moonlit night in old Mexico. I walked alone between some old
adobe haciendas. Suddenly, I heard the plaintive cry of a young Mexican girl.

You better come home, Speedy Gonzales
Away from tannery row
Stop alla your a-drinkin'
With that floozie named Flo
Come on home to your adobe
And slap some mud on the wall
The roof is leakin' like a strainer
There's loadsa roaches in the hall

Speedy Gonzales, why don'tcha come home?
Speedy Gonzales, how come ya leave me all alone?

SPOKEN in a male Mexican accent: "Hey, Rosita-I hafta go shopping downtown
for my mudder-she needs some tortillas and chili peppers."

Your doggy's gonna have a puppy
And we're runnin' outta Coke
No enchiladas in the icebox
And the television's broke
I saw some lipstick on your sweatshirt
I smelled some perfume in your ear
Well if you're gonna keep on messin'
Don't bring your business back a-here

Mmm, Speedy Gonzales, why don'tcha come home?
Speedy Gonzales, how come ya leave me all alone?

SPOKEN in a male Mexican accent: "Hey, Rosita-come queek-down at the cantina
they giving green stamps with tequila!!"
