Racist and Sexist Stereotypes Found in Graphic Accompanying Letter

This letter to the editor criticizes a graphic that accompanied a previous letter to the editor by Doris Sweat, detailing an instance of racial discrimination. This letter asserts that the illustration, which depicted a black woman, hand on hip, looking up at a police officer, perpetuates both racist and sexist stereotypes and norms of subordination.
