CHICAGO (AP) — In her police mug shot, the doe-eyed cartoon heroine with the bowl haircut has a black eye, battered lip and bloody nose.
Dora the Explorer's alleged crime? "Illegal Border Crossing Resisting Arrest."
The doctored picture, one of several circulating widely in the aftermath of Arizona's controversial new immigration law, may seem harmless, ridiculous or even tasteless.
But experts say the pictures and the rhetoric surrounding them online, in newspapers and at public rallies, reveal some Americans' attitudes about race, immigrants and where some of immigration reform debate may be headed.

It's not the first time a children's character has been dragged into a serious debate.
In the late 1990s, Tinky Winky the Teletubby, a purple children's TV character with a triangle antenna — was called out by Christian leaders for being gay. Sesame Street roommates Bert and Ernie are often involved in statements on same-sex marriage.
Both shows' producers say the characters aren't gay

In South Korea, Dora speaks Korean and is teaching English, instead of speaking primarily English, teaching Spanish like in the US.

I don't think being illegal is why she got beat up! She got beat up because she is SO ANNOYING! That and according to her mugshot photo possibility a Satanist, (mug shot ID number is 666-666-666).

Which Christian leaders? You mean like Senator Larry Craig? The Republican Twink from Idaho? Or how about Ted Haggard the former minister who was paying a male prostitute for sex and crystal meth? Or how about the Republican from Bakersfield who opposed gay marriage and pro-gay legislation yet recently came out and admitted he is gay after being pulled over for drunk driving after leaving a gay bar?

Dude...hipocrisy at its finest...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teletubbies

"The show was also at the center of a controversy when American cleric and conservative pundit Jerry Falwell claimed in 1999 that Tinky Winky, one of the Teletubbies, was a homosexual role model for children. Falwell based this conclusion on the character's purple colour and his triangular antenna; both the colour purple and the triangle are sometimes used as symbols of the Gay Pride movement"
