The Indianapolis Star deleted a racist Gary Varvel cartoon depicting an illegal immigrant family climbing through the window while a white family had Thanksgiving dinner. Wow, really? The fact is, not all illegal immigrants are Hispanics.

Hispanic isn't a race and most illegal immigrants ARE from Mexico and South America.

And who are the racists that decided the family coming through the window are hispanic?

They're cartoons! They could be Italian or Greek or Russian for all I know.

Illegal aliens found in this country may not all be latino, but that’s the way to bet.

Roughly 63% of illegals are Mexican.

“As of March 2010, 11.2 million unauthorized immigrants were living in the United States”

Then see Figure 2 at http://www.pewhispanic.org/2011/02/01/ii-current-estimates-and-trends/

Racist? No, it depicts the reality of what Obama is pushing for - illegal immigrants allowed to join the party, so to speak.

“The fact is President Obama isn’t encouraging more illegal immigrants to enter the U.S.”

The HELL he isn’t!

Lot of people on Indy Star’s facebook page are against the cartoon. I have no problem with it.

Illegal immigrants feel free to look for a car with an Obama bumper sticker on it, parked in a driveway. These are liberals who really want to have you in this country and will gladly host and feed you.

I can think of one particular undocumented alien from Indonesia... or perhaps as has been boasted, Kenya.

I cancelled my 27 year subscription to the Muncie Starpress (45 minutes northeast of Indy) last week after reading one biased “We endorse ...” editorial after another in the days before the election.
I suspect this will make some Circle City residents jump ship from the Indy Star, because it is absolutely ridiculous, ‘politically correct’, left-wing boolsplat.

"Racist?"

I'm confused (of course I'm not), aren't there but three races: caucasian; negroid and mongoloid (these are old terms that I learned so please forgive me if those words are now racist)?

Unless, like the two sexes have become five, maybe we now have added new races: Hispanic, Islamic, perhaps to name a few?

Actually, can't even educated souls get it right, it's not "race" but "ethnicity."

How come it feels like they’re so darn many from Somalia?
