By all means, let's depict hideous caricatures of blacks and claim, "IT'S JUST HISTORICAL CONTEXT". At a children's museum, no less

Euphemizing the past excuses it. It's not pretty, but to pretend it didn't happen doesn't teach anyone anything.
-
then why aren't you upset that blackface caricatures aren't included? You must be furious. How dare they withhold black racist tropes.

I'm not condoning the mural, but it's like the Censored 11 Warner Bros. cartoons. Educate people about the stupid racism and stereotyping ..

im pretty sure Chinese people use chopsticks...ive never been to China or anything, but I think that ones on the nose

The caricature in the mural also has slit eyes & a rice patty hat. I am certain this is offensive, having been to China & being Chinese
-
im just makin a joke,...its probably totally bad and offensive, but yknow its not like it was done with malice just antiquated artwork
-
U gotta b mindful of how u joke around cuz that kinda irreverence is indicative of an overall lack of respect for struggles poc face
