    I’m not going to scour through the artist’s works to prove that it might be an accidental embellishment

    Scour? I think it’s pretty reasonable to take 30-60 seconds to verify before claiming someone or something is bigoted. The fact you are fine with negatively labeling someone or something without taking less time than it takes to take a dump to see if you might be wrong first speaks volumes.

    P.s. You should look up what a strawman is.

    Edit: given you find scouring the internet for information to be such an onerous task, I found a link for you : https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straw_man

      Four fingers, one floating eye, sclara? All straw-men that you ‘defeated’ to prove me wrong. I don’t comment on bigotry lightly. I know antisemitism is thrown around as much as comparisons to hitler in hyperbole these days.

      If someone has to look at your body of work to understand if you’re racist or not, you fucked up.

        Have you heard of a saying? “Those looking for something will find it even where none exists.”

          Yes, it’s often true.

          I will give you the author of the cartoon may not be racist. I can’t say. This particular embellishment was a mistake on their part. It watered down the potency of the comic for some and that makes it an oversight at best.
