Comic Puts Newspaper Editor On Hot Seat - Central Connecticut State University’s student paper

“The student-run newspaper at Central Connecticut State University is under fire for publishing a cartoon this week that critics call racist and sexist.

The three-frame comic, titled “Polydongs,” features two characters who mention locking a “14-year-old Latino girl” in a closet and urinating on her. It was published in Wednesday’s edition of The Recorder, a weekly newspaper distributed free on campus.

“We are outraged about this cartoon, which only dehumanizes women and especially Latino women,” said Francisco Donis, a psychology professor and president of the university’s Latin American Association.”
