I feel that this portrayal of an African-American person (assumedly, or at least a person of color), at this time in the United States, is highly insensitive at best and racist at worst. I realize it’s only a comic strip, and I obviously love the comics or I wouldn’t have seen this strip. People of color in this country are subject to so much racism, and are seemingly dying daily because of it; they deserve a better and more positive representation in the media, even the comics.
