Here's a Bill Leak cartoon that became the centre of a culture skirmish

I can laugh at anything funny, be it sexist or racist, but simply denigrating others does not do it for me. On the sexism racism front it is not just approval or not, sometimes it is 'I would not want to be part of any group that would have me', which includes white men.

Here is the latest about Serena Williams on the court.....

I suppose it is racist. I don't get any joke. And it is nasty.

There was one FDOTM cartoon I laughed so much I thought I might have a heart attack. Perhaps they work on several levels, one of which is self mockery?

Starting culture wars is not how we should routinely treat each other. The withdrawal of empathy is part of the culture wars project?
