N.M. Papers to Substitute 'B.C.' Strip
LOS ANGELES - Two New Mexico newspapers won't be running an upcoming installment of the caveman comic strip "B.C." because it makes a potentially insensitive pun on a Chinese name, the newspapers' publisher said.

The Jan. 19 strip - by artist Johnny Hart - depicts two cavemen discussing unseen Asian brothers who fail in their attempt to build a working airplane. The punchline: "Two Wongs don't make a Wright."
Idiotic hypersensitivity. Ultimately everything is "potentially insensitive."
