    I don’t think so, if a comic is actually trying to make a point rather than appeal to ideological tribalism

      I guess it’s possible they’re just being lazy or tribal. But since white guys in suits are also part of that tribe, I’m not sure how that works. To me it just seems they are simply drawing a likely scenario rather than an unlikely one.

      It’s why Garfield is a cat and not a hyena. Because who has a hyena?

        Except this is not that, it’s a specifically 50 or so year old white guy in a suit, which is a relatively small demographic of people, especially limiting it to people who regularly wear suits. Furthermore if it’s just the most likely, why choose an east Asian or native American looking woman? That’s a pretty small percent of the population
