saginaw-controversy

It seems like college cartoon controversies happen in bunches. Here’s another from Michigan. Apparently a comic strip that appeared in the Delta College newspaper painted the city of Saginaw, MI as a place of drugs and violence – which didn’t go over well with readers – despite unscientific polls that showed people thought the stereotype was right on.

  1. It seems like college cartoon controversies happen in bunches.

    You say that like it’s a bad thing.

    At least the college cartoonists are getting a reaction.

  2. as someone who grew up in flint, michigan, 45 minutes south of saginaw, i can’t help but feel slighted. um, but we do like drugs.

  3. If they mean the city of Saginaw…yeah, I wouldn’t think it’s that far off. But the ‘suburbs’ aren’t nearly as bad as the city.

  4. Don’t you just hate it when someone gets offended. Bummer.

  5. …first ya got offense, then ya got defense…soundz like the Superbowl.
