Liberal Arts? Politico Cartoonist Worries About Ethnic Perils in Caricaturing Kamala

[pjcomix]

Politico cartoonist Matt Wuerker has a big problem ...at least in his own mind. How to caricature Kamala Harris without appearing to be racist. The funny thing is that this obsession seems to have been shared with none of the other cartoonists that Wuerker contacted on this topic on Sunday in  "‘It’s a Minefield’: Top Political Cartoonists on the Challenges of Caricaturing Kamala Harris."

"It's a minefield?" Apparently only in the very very concerned mind of Matt Wuerker since that headline quote comes from ...Wuerker. Let us now join Wuerker rubbing his caricaturist worry beads:

Well, that would be intentional. A candidate with the right number of boxes checked could only be criticized (in wokeworld) by someone with the same checkboxes checked. If there are enough check marks, anyone who says squat could be called 'racist'. I'm surprised she hasn't claimed to be from the alphabet set, but that might cost her more votes than it gains.
