Brilliant cartoon
This cartoon from an article, written by the equally brilliant Warren Mundine, illustrates so perfectly the ridiculousness of the politically correct journalists from various sections of the media.
""Mundine describes the social media furore with mostly non-Aboriginal people tripping over themselves with apologies for their white privilege as “pathetic”. "
"
Then there’s this clique of progressive-left non-Aboriginal people falling over themselves with self-flagellation; the sorry-sorry people who apologise for things they’ve never done or that are of no consequence to anyone, like adapting an Aboriginal word in a cover design.
And maybe I’m becoming more like my father as I get older, but I just want to say: “Get a life.” ""
"
I’m aware of organisations wanting to use Aboriginal language words in programs being told they must ask permission from a land council. Why? Since when is use of a word, of any language, controlled by an organisation?
Adaptation, irony, plays on words; these are all ways in which language is used. And without use, language dies.
If the fake culture police have their way Aboriginal words and cultural symbols will eventually exist only in museums.
Finally, take note of the utter hypocrisy of this cohort of lefties pretending to care about violence against Aboriginal women.
Australia is in the middle of an epidemic of Aboriginal family violence. Alice Springs counsellor and Warlpiri woman Jacinta Price campaigns tirelessly about this problem.
For this she’s abused and condemned by social justice warriors. She’s courageous for talking about it. "

The italics are mine.
I found this article explained a little more about attitudes and reactions to the cover pictured above.
Apparently Me Too isn't new, which I wasn't aware of.
In 2006, Tarana Burke (pictured above) began using the phrase "Me Too" to raise awareness of the pervasiveness of sexual abuse and assault in society. Tarana Burke is an African-American civil rights activist from The Bronx, New York and founder of the Me Too movement.
To clarify the above somewhat:
"Green, who is also an ABC presenter and former SundayAge editor, says it was his “blindness” and “carelessness” that resulted in the word Meanjin — an indigenous word for the land upon which Brisbane now sits — on the June cover being crossed out, in order to make way for a hashtag, which in turn promotes an essay by the feminist writer, Clementine Ford. ""
From the Australian.
This is the cover to which they are referring.
