I think that newspaper is getting the equivalent of it's face punched in, so all is well in the world.
Comments of such nature are allowed in newspapers. Insults
are allowed in the newspaper. If they want to publish insults to Asians, Natives, homosexuals, or white males 18-49, they can do it. I'm sure there are newspapers in Europe that do insult Asians. I'm sure you could dig up something from the Calgary Sun that a homosexual would find offensive. Same with Natives.
People bitch all the time about what's in the paper. Rarely, if ever, is the insult made in such a blatant and even contrived fashion and the bitching isn't done with such gusto as in this case, but it does happen.
