Mexicans Coming Through Yonder Window

This cartoon never stood a chance. It’s racist against the Mexican race of peoples who invented chocolate and soccer and fake names to share with border patrol agents when crossing the Sonoran into the U.S.  Cartoonist Gary Varvel had his turn at mocking the Obama executive order allowing five million potential deportees to hang out in the U.S. until such time as Chili’s no longer needs their tables bussed. Once the cry racism trolls started in on the Indianapolis Star, they wiped off the invading dude’s mustache, because a mustache is the international symbol of Central Americans. I think you’ll see that in most Atlases of the World.

That was pretty fucking stupid. Though not as inane as Indianapolis Star Executive Editor Jeff Taylor confirming his status as champion of free speech and diverse thought with the following takedown statement:

On Friday, we posted a Gary Varvel cartoon at indystar.com that offended a wide group of readers. Many of them labeled it as racist. Gary did not intend to be racially insensitive in his attempt to express his strong views about President Barack Obama’s decision to temporarily prevent the deportation of millions of immigrants living and working illegally in the United States. But we erred in publishing it. The cartoon depicted an immigrant family climbing through a window of a white family’s home as Thanksgiving dinner was served. I was uncomfortable with the depiction when I saw it after it was posted.

Oh, fuck no. You were uncomfortable? Readers were offended? I wish the mildly decomposing remains of Ben Bradley could rise from the grave and give you the good bone to ass fucking you deserve. This is one cartoonist’s political point of view. It’s hardly KKK blindly hateful pamphleteering. Now grow some sack and pretend you’re a newspaper man.
