In some countries you may get a beheading after this, but here in America we had ‘retractions’. Well, Indianapolis’ the Star learned all to well the meaning of that phrase as they posted not ONCE, but TWICE a rather racist Thanksgiving-inspired cartoon that was quickly taken down then humorously altered to probably make it look worse:

I’m wondering if FOX’s upcoming series Bordertown will push the envelope QUITE this much, because if it does, everyone’s gonna talk about that show every week…and that’s awesome for ratings. So, what say you? Was the Gary Varvel-produced cartoon racist? Let us know in the comments below!
