Liberal Arts? Politico Cartoonist Worries About Ethnic Perils in Caricaturing Kamala
Newsbusters ^ | September 23, 2024 | P.J. Gladnick

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:

Oh, please. She doesn’t look “ethnic” at all. Neither Indian nor black.

It’s all just fine until your syndication group drops you and you’re out of work.

The Dilbert artist is a poster here. You should ask him how his situation turned out after he lost syndication.

Matt Wuerker loves to spend an hour on The Tower of Power.

Why? She doesn’t have black features, if that’s what they’re worried about.

She looks like a Salvador Dali painting of a melting face.

It's doubtful she has more than a trace of Black in her. Her father is 1/8 Negro, and 7/8 White. People from India are classified as White. So Kamala is 94% White (15/16).

> She ain’t black.

As long as she isn't White Democrats are happy.

For them Decolonizing America starts in the White House.

Well, give her some “black features” if she doesn’t “have any”. Easy enough!

How can you do caricatures without risking offending someone?

“What a load of cr@p!”

That’s right. They didn’t have a problem with those disgusting Condi Rice cartoons.

Wuerker is a COWARD. The problem with Que-Mala isn’t race; she’s whatever race she needs to be depending on who she’s talking to. She can’t be caricatured because she literally IS a caricature.
