33. Of course it's not racist |
|
It's blatantly obvious that the cartoonist doesn't share the racist attitudes the characters are expressing, and assumes that the audience doesn't either. It's clearly mocking rather than promoting the stereotypes it refers to.
I don't think it's particularly clever - it's just listing and slightly exaggerating the steryotypes, without doing anything particularly imaginative with them - but it's not racist.
