Who put the "Speedy" in Speedy Gonzales?

Speedy Gonzales is a very popular cartoon for this country and his identification as Mexican certainly gives the impression that many of his qualities are those that are attributed to Mexicans. I personally never really knew much about Speedy Gonzales save the fact that he was a sombrero wearing mouse with a Spanish last name. I might have caught a glimpse of him on an advertisement of some sort but I never really knew much about him or watched any of this cartoons. Some might claim that the origin of his name, although contrived from a "dirty joke," has nothing to to with the personality or persona of the character, I would have to disagree. His name came from a dirty joke dealing with the lecherous nature of the Mexican in both versions of the joke the Mexican is seen as such and overly sexual being. In the second version he cannot be satisfied and has sex with the wife of and Anglo. The claim that the name is not attached to the origin is absolutely absurd. Baptizing this mouse with such a name means that many of the qualities that these producers saw from the original "Speedy Gonzales," they must attribute to Mexicans. Surely there was something in this dirty joke that they found slightly funny or interesting enough to name the witty mouse after this "Speedy" character. It is like deep in the origins of this charming and intelligent mouse there lies a past that is dirty and sexual. His origins are such and although the producers many not agree that he is representative of the qualities that the original "Speedy" had, nonetheless, they are naming him after a stereotype of the Mexican. Speedy Gonzales is a walking talking stereotype. What can this tell us about his creators other than they are promoting this stereotype? It tells us that they too on some deeper level also buy into the stereotype of the lecherous womanizing Mexican. Even in the cartoon itself Speedy is surrounded by many women and is seen as a type of Romeo.
