I think it is not racist but it is a criticism towards it. (I'm not sure though, it is a really complicated thing and this picture stays in the thin line in-between) I think this picture shows the other side of the coin. It shows how some people are just obsessed with for a white person to be a racist while himself/herself is actually being one. I mean I do not see any racist thing in liking to be white or black or Asian or whatever as long as you realize that being white or black does not mean that you have the power over another person just because of her/his race. Saying "I like being white" does not mean "I don't like other races". Or does it? What do you think? Is it too naive to think like that?

I think this cartoon is pointing out whiteness is always invisible and when we make it visible, people get uncomfortable....
