The problem with WWE is that they fail to deliver on their promises when it comes to things like this--they don't understand the distinction between "parodying" stereotypes and actually promoting them. Like not too long ago, with the Mohammed Hassan character, which was supposed to address discrimination against Arab-Americans. But no sooner than he debuted than he became a full-on Muslim extremist stereotype, down to a disturbing masked-men attack of The Undertaker.
There's a difference between poking fun at stereotypes and perpetuating them, and WWE just isn't a smart enough outfit to do the former.

WWE should never be boycotted because it is the best show on television. When the mexicools first appeared they were stereotyped as some kind of lawn mowers but you don't see anyone complaining about it. Cryme Tyme has all the makings of a great tag team so please don't spoil it.

I think it's ridiculous. They look like "gangsta" rappers, if you can call that music, not wrestlers.
