Made this cover for a paper thats running next week. Granted, its not the greatest cover ever, I did it in like 20 minutes.

The head of the paper told me that it is racist. Everyone disagrees with him.

Asians in business suits?

I can't really say.

Heres the reason he gave me.

The look on their faces might come across as "mocking."

He also suggested I put in a black guy standing in the back to add "diversity."

it's not racist, it's just a couple asian dudes looking at a newspaper. now if it said "gooks learn they're not wanted in america anymore!" and they were reading the same paper it'd be racist.

The head of the Sales department when asked if it would be racist to have the same exact cover with two white guys would be racist, he responded no.

I hate this job.

You should get some Asian dude to tell him that he doesn't find it offensive.

I thought about it.

I dont have the time to go grab one of the asian clubs on campus to show them the ad, then bring them here to bitch his stupid ass out, and then get it in the paper.

Your boss is racist and a paranoid one at that to even suggest such a thing.

He then says to add a black guy to make it look more diverse? Even more racist to even suggest it.

Someone who isn't would have never considered your cover racist.

And you can tell him I said so.

your boss is racist and a coward. your ad was racist too. But I liked it.


I'd say just do as your stupid boss says. Get yourself to a position where you call your own shots.

Its more gay than racist.

That is the first thing I thought as well. "They just found the perfect place".

Ask your boss if he has a problem with gay men. I have a theory that it has nothing to do with their race but that it is two men. (That just found the perfect place to ram each other in private)

I can see them getting complaints. They probably just want to avoid the headache.

Add a Jewish, black, gay, parapalegic woman in a wheelchair and I think you'll be good.
