No way would this be published in the USA. Compared to other offenses, racism is thought to be somehow more reprehensible then anything else and nothing gets more press in the USA then claims of racism. It seems like the press and public are so used to stories of murder, robbery, arson etc... that anything but the most spectacular crimes are shrugged off as part of the regular day. Bring in the racist angle and it's national news. It's almost like it's a national obsession inside the USA, print anything like this and everyone and anyone would be raising all heck.

Is this drawing racism or racist? Depends what you define racism and racist as. To me racism is nothing more then to discriminate against people based on their race or beliefs etc... So does this drawing discriminate against a race of people? I think that a racist is a person who has a belief that one race is superior or inferior to others. In this case I think the artist could be classified as a racist (if it is true or not I have no idea).

Others think the definition is all the above and more and some classify racism / racist as something completely different. Is the drawing racism or is the artist a racist or is he / she just ignorant going for maximum shock value? I can't make that call either way. To me the drawing is in poor taste and offensive so I would think it's going for shock value and nothing more, well maybe the artist is a complete ignorant idiot as well. In my country of residence, it would be viewed as poor taste and incorrect, and if it was about an islander then they would raise some heck over it.

I'm in a mixed race marriage where I (as an American) am the minority (only about 70 non locals here) and my kids are definitely a wild mix of different races (my wife is a mixed islander and I'm a big mix of different nationalities). I personally think that mixed race people are some of the most beautiful and striking people in the world. To me the mixing of different cultures and races creates some wonderful people.
