Who's the Racist in the Boston Phoenix Graphic Design Room?

Capture.JPG We get it, Boston Phoenix. Apparently, Sam Yoon is some kind of Asian—represented in the graphic above by a Chinese food container—and Mayor Thomas Menino is some kind of superhuman white man who springs forth from pure Asianness to conquer the electorate with his shirtless whiteness and his chopsticks. Very classy, but also very racist. What will the Phoenix run if Yoon wins the election? A picture of Fu Manchu bursting out of a pizza box? [Via Sociological Images, since we apparently don't actually read the Phoenix]

The faux-Menino gun show is disturbing.

More racialist than racist.
