Probably because he always outwits his opponents and always wins. He's not any more crazy than the other Looney Tunes, he's as smart as Bugs, and unlike Bugs, he's never cruel and remains firmly heroic.

That's the crux. He's a Mexican stereotype, but at the time, it was rare to have a good guy who looked like that.

He was also the exact opposite of the other stereotype of the "lazy Mexican" - which, for anyone who's ever worked construction with actual Mexicans, is comically inaccurate.

Interestingly, they also made a heroic "lazy" Mexican in the form of Slowpoke Rodriguez. (He pack a gun.)
