He made Indians look like plastic and metal eaters. That’s right. It can hardly be called racism, It’s just a comment on their dietary habits. Would you like mango chutney with that?

Gizmo, you can spin it any way you please (as you are) but the simple fact is that the cartoon does stereotype Indians as being too dumb to understand what a solar panel is, too dumb to use it for its intended purpose, and to make it edible (impossible) let's add not sugar.....but chutney....another direct barb at Indian culture. They are also, of course, wearing rags, another false stereotype of a typical Indian.

No, despite the nationality of your 'bride' the cartoon is not actually 'racist'...it is, in fact, a cynical shot at the COP21 fools who 'think' that solar panels are the be all and end all of the way to fix everything that's wrong with the world..

That's fine, Gizmo. You keep telling yourself that. Eventually you'll be convinced. Meantime, I recognise racial bigotry via ridicule of a stereotype when I see it.

Despite your Indian "bride"?

That's right. I have special glasses I use in cases like this. It would be quite wrong if anyone thought I knew anything about Indian stereotypes.

That’s because he’s a Chow, Gizmo.

That’s not racist, just pointing out a fact.

I've been looking at this cartoon over and over again and I can't work out what starvin' Marvin is doing in the background with the shovel behind his head. Is he about to "knock his family on the head" because they are done for??? Very interesting indeed.

he is smashing up the solar panels ready to fry...its easier to fit in the pan in pieces

are we sending solar panels to India instead of food/??..... sounds about right.

.which country is making the most money out of selling solar panels???>.

I bet it isnt a Western country... Roll Eyes

..

someones rubbing their hands together and it aint us..

when you think of the "emission" to get these panels to their destination.. Cheesy

I am sure someone has taken all that into account though.

Inaccurate anyway, Indians starve because of their own cultural racism, not because of lack of resources.

Many more multiples of Indians starved to death under British rule than have starved since. British cultural racism?

Completely untrue, the British kept the caste system under control and outlawed such practises as Suttee. When they left the Indians went back to their own degenerate ways.

Right..so would it make more sense for the UN/World governments to supply food, rather than electricity???....You can't eat electricity, whether it comes from solar panels(renewable power), or fossil fuel or even from nuclear..

LOL what??

Do Indians need food? As far as I know there are no starving people in India.

India's poor demonstrably want solar units. Who are you and who is Bill Leak to condescendingly tell them they really don't want it?

Ive been there 3 times, the 3rd time last year. I walked around dead and starving people in the streets of Delhi. Its cultural, the lower castes are considered worthless as human beings.

Many of that 'half billion' choose not to use a dunny, rather than not have access to one.

Of course you wont see them in higher caste "urban" India. I stayed in Pahar Ganj in Delhi and made it a habit to walk to Connaught Square every day, all over the place. You wont see them from the swimming pool in your 5 star hotel either.
