Canadian paper apologizes for cartoon seen as anti-Semitic – Edmonton Journal caricature depicted hacker with black beard and large nose as perpetrator of banking data breach | Timesofisrael

A Canadian newspaper that ran a cartoon seen as anti-Semitic has apologized, following backlash from the local Jewish community.
The Edmonton Journal cartoon by Malcolm Mayes, published some two weeks ago, was about a data breach that exposed personal information belonging to millions of Capital One customers featuring a “data hacker” sitting with a laptop inside a wallet. The hacker had a black beard and a large nose reminiscent of anti-Semitic caricatures of Jews.
