Show me the harm of seeing this cartoon ? will someone become a racist by simply looking at it? Will they start lynching black people ? Whats the harm other then a minority at the time being offended and i'm sure at the time and for some time after it was made people thought this was totally innocent .
The difference is that real and measurable harm has been done by racism, and the cartoon is blatantly racists. Real and measurable harm has also been done by sexism, but it hasn’t been shown that this song is sexist.
