avoiding injuries 1,220 Posted September 11, 2018 The overly PC culture has not yet reached Australia. I dont think its fair to apply our new standards onto other cultures. Besides, people will just selectively choose which cultures to condemn and which to ignore. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
drobeski 3,061 Posted September 11, 2018 All 3 are far off and it would have been funny if he had not changed them to white people and made a racist caricature of Serena. Very similar to the racist depiction of Michelle Obama on the New Yorker cover.what is a racist caricature? Define this please Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wiffleball 4,645 Posted September 11, 2018 So we're going to go in circles here. Caricatures by their very definition exaggerated the features of the individual. Look up caricatures of prince George. However, white depictions of black people back in the day also tended to exaggerate the features of black people. So there's a logical and emotional. We can jump up and down and say logically it's not fair that white people's features can be exaggerated in the art form, but black people are too damn sensitive. But the emotional side is actually more pragmatic in this case. Just don't. It's not worth the damn hassle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mobb_deep 917 Posted September 11, 2018 If they drew Michelle with so-called European hair, it'll be a problem. You really can't win. 100% true. I think it was just a week ago that black peeps were complaining about how Princess Tiana looks in the new Wreck-It-Ralph movie. Make them look too black its racist, too white its racist. Its really a no win situation, when you have the whole victim mentality that many people in the AA community do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RLLD 3,455 Posted September 11, 2018 If we drew white men with miniscule teeny tiny penises no matter how big it was in real life would you understand why it's offensive? As an artist he might tend to represent white people in that way, or even with chains and whips, but that is not racism, its simply the artists interpretation. I might not find it "art" or funny, or even acceptable....but in the grand scheme of things, I would have FAR more problem with someone trying to silence the cartoonist than with the cartoonists mischaracterization. Deciding for others what is acceptable to me deserves a big fock you, but thats just me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
