A black woman looks at the cover of a comic book (depicting the famous Mexican character Memin Pinguin) and sees a kid who looks like a monkey.
She decides this is racist towards black people, complains to a community activist, and this leads to WalMart pulling the comic book off their shelves forever.
Excuse me?
She's the one who associates monkeys with black people!
She's the one who's racist towards her own race.
What's next, banning monkeys from the fucking zoo?
The character of Memin Pinguin is a Cuban-Mexican, to boot...

"But the dark-skinned Memin's exaggerated features in "Memin for President" came as a shock to Houston, Texas, Wal-Mart shopper Shawnedria McGinty".
I guess she never noticed that most cartoon characters have "exaggerated features". Has she never seen the eyes of Manga characters?
This is not about racism. This is about "political correctness" gone berserk, and is actually hindering the anti-racist cause.
As for banning monkeys from zoos, I would, but for a different reason (for the monkey's own sake) ;)
