is that super racist cartoon the best image to use for right to repair?
Happy to hear you out and I didn't downvote, but I'm not sure how it's racist. The original cartoon doesn't seem racist (though Bugs Bunny has plenty of that in other cartoons) and I'm not sure how this frame could be taken that way otherwise.
"I'm not sure how this frame could be taken that way"
yes, you are:
"Bugs Bunny has plenty of [racism] in other cartoons"
it sounds like you do understand that cartoon is racist. you said it.
why associate the right to repair with a racist cartoon when there are so many not racist cartoons?
especially when bugs is such a capitalist mascot, and you're trying to make this communist.
doesn't make sense why you would choose that specific frame to associate with Communism (which many people associate with China) from that specific cartoon that is known for Asian racism to promote right to repair.
like, use Donatello fixing a gadget.
or Dexter.
or inspector gadgets niece whatever, or that mouse girl from that show... I think her name is gadget.
none of them have racist associations that you, yourself are aware of and yet are promoting.
