Is this a racist caricature or not? What do you guys think?
I personally think that this is an extremely racist portrayal of Indians by Aftenposten. Showing Indians as snake charmers is a derogatory stereotype from colonial era. It is almost as racist as showing a black person in a cotton field. To the norwegians who defend it, how would your reaction be if an indian newspaper showed a caricature of Støre holding a giant potato in his hand?(reference to the derogatory term used towards norwegians 'norskpotet')
