The very definition of racism
You may have heard that there's a cartoon depicting the US president as a monkey.
cut for monkey.
No, wait, that was the previous presidential monkey. You want the current image.
cut for 2nd monkey.
There seems to be a storm brewing about racism, with all the obvious connotations therein.
I ask you this:
When is it OK to depict a white man as a monkey, but not draw a black man as a monkey. Surely one rule for one race, and another for another is the very definition of racial discrimination.
The NY have offered an apology, outlining (entirely reasonably, I think) that racism, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder.
