Honest to God question: are they gonna have to not call him “Bender Rodriguez” or do jokes about his Latin heritage anymore so they can keep his blonde Italian voice actor in the role?

#cause the joke isn’t really that he’s Mexican it’s that he’s a robot built in a Mexican factory and he treats it like a cultural identity #I always thought it was a metaphor for how Americans are obsessed with tenuous ancestral connections they’re barely in touch with #You can tell Bender is fundamentally and primarily a depiction of an American because he’s always on about what percent he is of something #Futurama
