In fact, the cartoon even looks like Yang, unlike…well, here’s a test: who is this supposed to be? First, the caricature of Yang is mild in comparison to how he draws everyone else, like himself… ![]() I can’t wait to hear what Evelyn says after Yang is elected and starts getting serious criticism. To publish this racist disfiguration of as a tourist, in NYC where I was born, where Andrew has lived for 25 years, where our boys were born, where 16% of us are Asian and anti-Asian hate is up 900%.” Evelyn Yang, wife of candidate Stephen Yang, attacked New York Daily News’ cartoonist Bill Bramhall for a characature she called a “racist disfiguration” of her husband.īramhall, a boringly predictable progressive cartoonist who draws Donald Trump to look like he ate Orson Welles, mocked Yang by exploiting the common complaint that he’s not a real New Yorker, but a carpetbagger who is naive about the ways of The Big Apple. The latest despicable example of the practice arrived in New York City, where a mayoral race is heating up. I consider the routine use of that tactic to stifle legitimate criticism as an valid, if not necessarily decisive, reason not to support female or minority candidates. ![]() It’s cheap, it’s unfair, it’s dishonest, but as Harry Reid ( or Niccolò Machiavelli) might say, “It works!” Right now, it is clear that such politicians and their supporters just can’t help themselves. Some day, in a more mature and enlightened America, we will have non-male and non-white candidates for elective office as well as elected officials whose supporters do not use the politicians’ race or gender to unethically intimidate critics by crying “Bigotry!” when there is none.
