It seems pretty clear to me. Not sure why the confusion on this topic, but that's life I guess.
Maybe next time they'll have the monkey eating a watermelon to make it clearer.
Nah....That wouldn't work either. Then we'll get some types here saying that it just shows that monkey's love to eat and isn't racist at all.
|
| -DU's a big tent. Even having to ASK if that cartoon is racist is an embarrassment and an indictment. |
