Wow, Boston Herald
 

I typically recoil at the thought of censorship in the name of political correctness, regardless of how offensive something may be to another's sensitivities, but this cartoon ran in the Boston Herald this morning, and I've gotta say I'm awestruck as to how it got past an editor's desk:











It's not particularly clever or even the slightest bit amusing, and I guess you could try and make the case that "it is racist to interpret as such" but, really?:zz:

Looks to me like a feeble attempt by the Herald to change the perception of the intruder, Omar Gonzalez, from a Hispanic into a crazy, racist white man.

Should have been a brown skinned Hispanic in the tub with his family of 13, a bottle of tequila in one hand and amnesty papers for his family in the other yelling gracious amigo....;)

This is just another futile attempt to take innocent civilians' legs.

If we all don't have legs...then no one will be able to jump fences.

wow.

safe to say they shouldn't have altered the original.

That is the original. Certain websites asked the artist to change Watermelon to Raspberry.

oh, ok. I thought it said the raspberry was the original.
