ABSTRACT

Recently surfing the Web, I came across these two illustrations on the White Aryan Resistance’s “Racist Cartoon Gallery” (Figs. I.1 and I.2). The first image, a caricature of a pregnant African-American woman, poses the racist joke: “Q: What do you call a black woman who has three or more abortions? A: A Crimefighter.” The second illustration depicts a pregnant female fetus within the womb of its mother and reads: “…THIS REMARKABLE REVELATION JUST IN! …FINALLY, AN ANSWER TO THE AGEOLD SCIENTIFIC MYSTERY, “HOW DO MEXICANS MANAGE TO REPRODUCE SO RAPIDLY?”…RESEARCH HAS NOW REVEALED THAT THEIR FEMALE OFFSPRING ARE ACTUALLY BORN PREGNANT!” Cartoon of a pregnant African-American woman from the White Aryan Resistance Web site's “Racist Cartoon Gallery.” https://s3-euw1-ap-pe-df-pch-content-public-p.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/9780203644058/f25a47b4-6d8d-4c2c-859a-0bd405f72888/content/figI_1_B.jpg" xmlns:xlink="https://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"/> “Beans…Beans…Beans” from the White Aryan Resistance's “Racist Cartoon Gallery.” https://s3-euw1-ap-pe-df-pch-content-public-p.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/9780203644058/f25a47b4-6d8d-4c2c-859a-0bd405f72888/content/figI_2_B.jpg" xmlns:xlink="https://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"/>
