Cartoonists have been forbidden in our area newspapers from showing blacks in Africa in African garb. That’s ‘racist.’
One time when I was TDY in the mid 70s from Croughton to a little place on the east coast called Cold Blow, I stayed at an inn that had a collection of 1940s-50s National Geographic issues in the room. I spent quite a good while looking through them.
Today, I wouldn’t even give a current copy a second look.
Easy solution: draw your cartoon of Africans in Africa in traditional Laplander garb.
Indeed, all indigenous people’s should be portrayed in cartoons in Laplander garb.
No one will care if it’s cultural malappropriation of Laplandish culture because they are white.
