1. Stupid cartoon regardless.

[LiberalElite]

2. i looked at both

several times and I can't find the difference. ????

4. Take another look . . .

At the guy in the red cap climbing through the window.

12. yeh - i just read about it elsewhere

6. The mustache on the guy in the first picture

gives the guy a Hispanic look - at least to me. Thus implying undocumented were coming in to eat T-day meal without an invite because Obama.
My interpretation

3. "Gary did not intend to be racially insensitive"

see - so it is ok!

[cyberswede]

7. Jesus effing christ...

how on earth could a joke about immigration NOT be racially insensitive.

[rurallib]

9. because he didn't mean it to be

simple, huh?

[DeadLetterOffice]

11. ...

5. NM...I see it now!

Is that serious? So they remove the mustache and that signifies WHAT exactly?

[cyberswede]

8. They lightened the skin, too...

as if that makes a joke *about immigrants* less racially insensitive.

[Rex]

10. Wow.

That is so fucked up, I don't even have a word for it.

[kpete]

13. fucked up

just about covers it




peace,

14. Not only racially insensitive but xenophobic to boot! And no amount of skin-lightening can excuse

that.

No wonder Indiana is a "red" State and they vote for Mike Pence! Media there are in the tank for Republicans exclusively.

15. and missing the irony of the holiday......
