‘Disappointed’

Dear Editor:

I am utterly disappointed in the Wellington Advertiser’s choice to print the cartoon depicting Justin Trudeau kneeling in a Canadian “taxpayer”.

Did no one stop to think how this image is offensive and makes light of the systematic oppression that People of Colour still face in this time? How this may feel for a Person of Colour to see this image depicted this way?

A man’s death is being used as a way to propagate political slander is offensive and distasteful.

As a public press you have responsibility to publish quality content, and also not publish offensive, distasteful content. Do better.
