    This is super harmful because it presents a horrible stereotype that immigrants are dangerous people, all capable of sexual violence and danger. This image could reinforce in people's minds the prototype of an immigrant, creating more prejudice in the world than already present.

    I was in the 13 percent who deemed this mostly harmful. I didn't go so far as to say that it was absolutely harmful, because I believe there is a portion of every population that will be swayed by the propaganda being presented. However, the crass nature of the cartoon and the oversimplified generalization likely caused Charlie Hebdo to miss the mark in persuading the immigration is bad because the majority of immigrants engage in sexual assault.

    This is pretty xenophobic and reduces all migrants to criminals and sexual deviants.
