Yeah, perhaps society is typecasting them. It's slander. We need an ADL for crows forthwith.

Like the Kia-Ora crows. They weren’t racist at all.

Come to think of it, are all crows inherently racist figures?

I’d say the SVP poster is only racist if those are the crows from Dumbo, noted as the world’s most racially stereotypical crows.

Good point, Chuffy – I shouldn’t tar all crows with the same brush. Some of my best friends are non-racist crows, you know.

And the Liberal party’s poster is offensive on so many levels. It’s such a Swiss steteotype/expected cultural set that I think Phillippe Senderos is driving the train. And it looks like a socialist poster from about 1983.

Cracking post again about a matter I haven’t even seen a glimpse of in the news here.
