By: National Business Review (Newspaper)
Reference: DCDL-0017799
Description: In the left frame a new-right skin-head wearing a shirt emblazoned with a swastika and printed with the letters 'NF' (National Front) carries a flag bearing the words 'Fight Asian invasion!' He growls 'Right-wing resistance rules! OK!' In the second frame he is shown as a tiny insignificant man who is about to be crushed like an insect beneath the boot of 'China'. Context - 'A Right-Wing Resistance group has been circulating anti-Asian fliers throughout Christchurch and is causing anger within the community. We've had in past election years quite a campaign against Asians and given the arrival of Asians, particularly Chinese and Massey University sociologist Paul Spoonley thinks its a publicity stunt attempting to guage the amount of interest in the formation of an anti-Asian Party. (3 News 12 May 2011) The cartoon suggests that China is so enormous and developing so rapidly that any protest by these people is really pretty pointless and rather pathetic. Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).
