    Their opposing political views are implied by the salon article-sharing progressive woman vs. straight white conservative man. He’s a cartoon man in a single comic panel. If they’re not relying on stereotypes here I’m gonna need the joke explained to me

      I see a woman tolerant of racism while denying it and a racist man. The conservative part I’m guessing you extrapolated by the thought that it is a regressive trait and therefore more likely to be a conservative?

          Yeah, it is political, when your politics come down to “woke” vs “antiwoke”.

          I’m starting to understand why today’s “conservatives” see a brutal dictator like putin as a hero. It doesn’t matter what he does, since he is “antiwoke”.

      There are implied political signals, but nothing overtly political. I’m not even attributing racism to conservatism. I wouldn’t trust a couple that matches the one in the comic to be up-to-date on the political landscape.

        The juxtaposition is the entire point of the comic though, right? I wouldn’t describe salon.com as a racial news site if I had to pick 1 adjective. If she had a BLM t-shirt or something maybe we could ignore politics
