But how do you "inform" folks of the offense-- the ones who genuinely don't understand how something like this can be so offensive?
How do you convince the Murdochs of printed media that is just isn't worth their time and money to thrive on racially offensive stuff that can almost be hidden as something else?
You first have to make sure they know that their opinion (whatver it is) has no power over you and that you will not lose sleep no matter what they say or print. Otherwise, you get all upset and bothered for days and they are laughing all the way to the bank.
I think that it is cool to use things like this to foster discussions with people you know, but I wouldn't go on a crusade to convince the world and Murdoch of anything. In the day we live in, very few people are stupid enough to print something absolutely and blatantly racist. They're not going to use the n-word and say lynch Obama (although those do exist). This leaves everything kind of subjective and in the grey area, therefore convincing anyone of anything will usually be a waste of time and cause more trouble than good.
