and what's your point? political cartoons are one thing, political propaganda is another.
why should this cartoon be taken seriously? because it's old? because xenophobes agree with it? what is it that makes this cartoon a respectable source?
Xenophobes? Really?
And what part of it is 'propaganda'? Be specific, please...
the part from 0:00 - pretty much the end. that's the propaganda part.
as for the xenophobes, yes, believing that everyone should drop their ethnic identity an conform to an idea of what is and is not 'american' is xenophobic.
No one in this country has ever dropped their ethnic identity. This is why we are called a melting pot. We have always had our customs from all walks of life.
Using race against one another is entirely different. This is what the cartoon is talking about. Black against White. Hispanics against White. Rich against poor.
