Koterba cartoon pulled for racial concerns
Skip to commentsA Jeff Koterba cartoon making fun of Senator Harry Reid’s comments regarding President Obama’s skin color was pulled from Tuesday’s edition due to concerns over how it would be interpreted. The cartoon depicts Reid as a census taker asking three African-Americans, “Now then, would you gentlemen say you are ‘black,’ ‘African-American,’ or ‘Negro’?”
In an email exchange posted by Neal Obermeyer, Jeff reportedly said, “Concerns were raised as to how the cartoon might be interpreted so my editor pulled it.”
