On February 26, 2009, the Lahaina News – a weekly paper in Hawaii — published the following editorial cartoon. The following week, the editor reportedly published the following statement: “We realize that last week's cartoon offended some community sensibilities.  We apologize for that.”  I cannot verify this as the apology does not appear to be published […]
