[Vision2020] Offensive Cartoon (in my opinion)

[Sue Hovey]

Well I am one of your subscribers, and not only do I think it's racist, I 
fail to understand how your explanation of the cartoon speaks to the 
creator's intent.  Furthermore, if having a daughter "of color" somehow 
frees one from being characterized as racist then must we conclude Thomas 
Jefferson and his ilk were somehow less racist than their counterparts?

And frankly, Kai, I don't see you as racist so much as I see you as 
intolerant of those whom you identify as your intellectual and philosophical 
inferiors.  And no, don't cancel my subscription.  I enjoy your paper but I 
never read it for philosophical or political content.   I gave that up when 
you fired the opinion writer whose columns didn't fit the ideological 
framework on which you publish.
