Fair enough, I think there's some validity to the argument about lampooning someone using cultural dress as an identifier. Thanks to those who are willing to engage in a discussion on this!

That brings up an interesting aside regarding political cartoons. Things like the below are clearly designed to lampoon Singh the individual but they are also exaggerating the way he dresses and looks for comedic effect. Is stuff like this okay?
