    I’ve seen the photo, so I know it’s real, but I can’t get over how much the guy looks like a racist caricature came to life.

      Well, that’s because it’s not the original:

      While we don’t know what the intent was behind the alteration, it probably is a racist caricature

        The guy depicted is from an Italian magazine cover about Israeli settlers. Granted, now that I see them together, the parody here is clearly exaggerated, but the guy himself still looks caricature-esque, too.

          You don’t joke about indians for having narrow eyes, that’s for the Chinese.

          Stereotypes are stereotypes for a reason. The reason being the truth.
