Indeed, they are nicely done.
I am torn with this kind of subject matter. On the one hand it can be viewed as offensive and on the other hand it is an example of a specific art style and is not intended to be hateful. I think it is good to have it around as at least it provokes discussion and it's better than pretending it never happened.

probably not hateful but ignorant at the very least. I wonder if I see it differently being from the US.

I know many people feel differently on this and I don't want to start a fight or alienate other people but after having read the subject I cannot say nothing. Please feel free to discuss as you like, post pictures as you like but in the knowledge that at least one person and likely more here find them offensive, we will just have to disagree.
