PARIS — Charlie Hebdo's latest cartoon references Aylan Kurdi, the Syrian boy whose body washed ashore last September. When translated to English, the cartoon under the "Migrants" headline reads, "What would little Aylan have grown up to be? An ass groper in Germany."

At first glance, the cartoon appears to be making fun of refugees, especially if you try to interpret the cartoon literally. If you think that's a bit racist, you're not the only one. A Twitter feud has broken out over whether the cartoon was racist propaganda or satirical commentary on the growing stereotypes of refugees that are held by many people in the West.

Demonstrators have taken to the streets in Germany to protest the acceptance of refugees. They cite the recent string of sexual assaults attributed to refugees as cause for concern.

So if this is, as Twitter user Chris Thompson suggests, "satirizing sweeping stereotypes about migrants," then it wouldn't be racist as all. Right? Or wrong?
