a phenomenon where a creative work (e.g. a character or a song) is criticized to be stereotypical and degrading by white people, but beloved by the minority that they say they degrade
In the US, Avril Lavigne’s song “Hello Kitty” was slammed for racially stereotyping and sexualizing Japanese people, but it was received positively in Japan, since Lavigne has always publicly appreciated Japanese culture. The song is an instance of the Speedy Gonzales effect.

While the term Speedy Gonzales has roots in the Mexican community that may be of questionable benefit to them culturally, and is well-known north of the border as a mouse of extraordinary prowess in making Sylvester the cat look foolish, he was also the subject of a 1962 song by Pat Boone, where he is a playboy leaving his family in the lurch, and a rarer song by The Wurzels, where he is located in Somerset, UK, with the same problem, but "anglicized".
Speedy Gonzales as a British bad boy ends up having to get British groceries instead of Mexican ones, gets green stamps with his scrumpy (hard cider), etc. It is quite a giggle, as are most of The Wurzels songs.
