Why Can't I Just Eat My Waffle?


Activists at a conservative political forum snapped up boxes of waffle mix depicting Barack Obama as a racial stereotype on its front and wearing Arab-like headdress on its top flap.

While I don't see exactly how the image of Obama on the front of the box is a "racial stereotype" rather than a simple caricature of the man himself, I must say that this was an utterly stupid move by the maker of the waffles. It will simply reinforce the idea that conservatives' opposition to Obama is because of his race. Never a good idea.
