Controversial Keith Knight Cartoon Accidentally Published Again, In Arizona

As a mostly white person, I don't get a vote on what use of what racially derogatory terms upsets people that could easily be described in that way, but I'm still disappointed that a second student newspaper and the community it serves can't make what seems to me a pretty basic distinction between the way the word in question is used by cartoonist Keith Knight and an intended-to-be-insulting use of the word. Even a "I get it, but no way is this acceptable" stance would be nice to read.
