24. MY issue is with you being unbelievably misguided!
"Blackface"? Hello? They're ARABS. They have darker skin than white people, that's how they look! Capisce? What should the cartoonist have done, made them white so as not to offend your sensibilities? That in my mind would have been more racist than the current picture (which is not racist at all), since it would effectively say that darker skin is of less value and thus we should 'bring them up to our level' so we won't unnecessarily denigrate the poor people by showing them in their real skin color.

Because of you the OP will cease posting any cartoons whatsoever. Thanks a fucking lot!
