Worst Timing Ever

So the (University of) Arizona Wildcat accidentally re-published a comic the morning after the election. It's by an African-American cartoonist and is based upon a real incident. It features "the N word" (partly obfuscated) and sends an important message about the casual racism that is still not too hard to find in the U.S.

Due to some snafu, it was published last Wednesday instead of a few weeks ago. A lot of people are very upset. It's probably appropriate that they fire the editor... don't they do a read-through?
