25. I just saw something very similar on a repeat of "In Living Color." |
|
Is there an assumption that the author/artist is white? Would this be perceived as less offensive if the originator was a person of color, or a woman? Would knowing that a person of color and/or a woman created this more clearly define it as political satire? I guess in the end I have to go along with everyone else who said it really depends on the context in which it was first presented, and perhaps other information not readily available such as race and gender of the author.
