Okay, so seriously...

Who at the NY Sun thought this was a good idea? (click for full image)



I am willing to give a benefit of the doubt that this wasn't intentionally racist, if only because if it were intentionally racist, it would be so unmistakably intentionally racist that no newspaper editor who did not wish to be compared to David Duke would let it see print.

As it stands, the editor who allowed this to go to press deserves to be fired. If someone had the colossal lack of judgement necessary to allow this to see the light of day, there's no telling what else they're capable of letting through. Rupert Murdoch should personally fire the editor and issue an immediate apology.

UPDATE: Post issues a pseudo apology.
