This picture represents different racism tactics that were done in news papers during the beginning half the 1900's. It was mainly faced toward Jewish people making fun of their noses and calling them rats. Which was very commen during that time period. Belittling them to the public eye, making them less of a person and slowly turning everyone against them. Things like this are still done today as direct means of racism. It is more tame no though because its not really looked at or cared about and has no influence on everyones opinion, now its just small hurtful jabs at everyone. Back then lots of people read newspapers and were greatly influendced by them so by the time that the Jewish people were sent away to concentration camps alot of peoples ideas of them were already bad and they already thought that they were bad people.

   Now today jokes and pictures such as those are faced alot toward Illegal mexican immigrants. They say things referring to crossing the border from mexico to the United States and many other things. Even though many people, including mexicans, just laugh at this pictures and don't get offended its only because these pictures dont have much influence and is just for fun. Though some may agree with it not many people care about the "funny art" that teens look at on the internet and apps on their phones they are more about political things and work.
