It’s been hard to miss the recent media coverage of the new
Arizona immigration law SB 1070, which allows police to stop individuals and
require them to show legal papers proving their citizenship upon “reasonable
suspicion.” Many have interpreted
this as legalizing racial profiling, which has caused protests to spring up against
this, most recently the one pictured above where individuals smeared refried
beans in the shape of a swastika to point out the potentially fascist
implications of the bill. What
makes me curious is how racial tensions have been visually deployed during the
theoretically post-racial Obama presidency.
