Al Nisbet Editorial Cartoon Accused Of Racism

Here is the cartoon; here is an article about the accusations of racism and how the public official that would be in charge of negotiating that issue politically views its racism under the legal terms for same. It looks like that the cartoon itself doesn't have an on-line iteration. Apparently Nisbet did another cartoon for another client along the same lines right after the one being discussed here ran.

That seems to me a pretty rotten cartoon, as it counts on familiarity with deeply unfortunate stereotypes to communicate its blunt and rather nasty point. The discussions of its racism seems to be less about the cartoon and more about the overlapping standards people bring to such discussions.
