This cartoon clearly shows the artists argument that the racial stereotypes within the United States are, in large part, based on the color of a person's skin. The artist gets his point across by using different colors as the determining factor as to whether or not the immigrant is illegal or not. This shows that the United States bases many views off of the color of a person's skin, even though they could be citizens and good people. It shows that the US can be extremely racist in the basic prejudice that white = good and any other color at all = bad because of our growing fears of illegal immigrants and terrorism.
This cartoon is showing that the new policy in arizona is based on profiling and prejudice. In Arizona, police have the right to ask for proof of citizenship only with reasonable suspicion. In this cartoon, the police believe there is enough reasonable suspicion by the color of the man's skin. Although I think its necessary to have some type of immigration laws, I dont think this type of suspicion is reasonable enough and this shows that the US has created racial sterotypes. The new policy should be enacted carefully, without profiling and with REASONABLE suspicion.
This cartoon is poking fun at our public officials and satirizing the fact that instead of pulling someone over for speeding or running a red light they racially rofile people too determine if the are a criminal. At the same time the makes a lot of sense as it is very prudent in the current debate concerning the Arizona law in which people public officials are able to profile based on the color of your skin or ethnicity not based on violations commited.
the cartoonist is making an argument against racial profiling. It could also be connected to the recently passed arizona legislation that allows police members to pull someone over if they suspect them of being an illegal immigrant. the cartoonist shows that it is wrong to use the color of someones skin to judge them, especially when the person doing the judging is in a place of authority such as the police.
This cartoon very clearly shows the racial stereotype in the United states towards a persons skin color. The artist portrays his point across by using "paint swatches" up against the persons face to see if they are white or not.... When the police officers see that the person is one of the "darker" color swatches they begin to reach for their guns because they are an "illegal immigrant" in their minds. Because Americans have begun to get into that mindset.
Racial profiling. It goes to show the stereotypes people make are simply people being narrow-minded than taking into account the bigger picture frame the person thrown into focus is more than what they appear, or hey may even be like them somewhere along the lines. This country was built on immigrants, and the cartoon furthers the showcase of how much ignorance has taken place contradicting that fact where one would expect most about everyone getting along in daily livelihood.
