英文原文:
Racist propaganda or satirical commentary: That’s the debate that’s being stirred up by Charlie Hebdo’s latest cartoon.
The cartoon references Aylan Kurdi, the Syrian boy whose body washed ashore last September.
When translated to English, the cartoon under the “Migrants” headline reads, “What would little Aylan have grown up to be? An ass groper in Germany.”
If you think that’s a bit racist, you’re not the only one. Dr. Craig Considine says, “This is racist. Plain and simple.”
Sunny Hundal called it disgusting.
Not Chris Taylor suggests that the cartoon is racist in nature but hides behind a satirical label and freedom of speech.
But let’s look at this from another angle. Consider the recent protests in Germany regarding the string of sexual assaults attributed to refugees.
And thanks to Djvigrrl, we have a definition of satire: The use of humor, irony, exaggeration or ridicule to expose and criticize people’s stupidity or vices, particularly in context of contemporary politics and other topical issues.
So if this is, as Chris Thompson suggests, “satirizing sweeping stereotypes about migrants,” then it wouldn’t be racist at all. Right? Or wrong.
What do you say? Do you think Charlie Hebdo’s cartoon is racist propaganda or satirical commentary.
