I don’t like how it’s been cropped as like that does look bad, but the cartoonist, I presume deliberately, included Johnson in full which somewhat changes it
I personally would say it is crass, but not sure why it is racist
No! The context is that they think she evil and If my thinking is right, the racist part is that the cow is sacred in her religion but It wasn’t probably even thought of by the cartoonist so how can it be racist?

Steve Bell has form for racist cartoons so to say that her religion didn’t come into his thinking is naive.
I don’t see any difference between this portrayal of Hindi woman and that of Serena Williams last year.

If a cartoonist drew Diane Abbott as a monkey but also included Corbyn portrayed in the same way next to her, would that change it?

A bull is sacred in Priti Patel’s religion. Bell is not a stupid man.
What was your view of the Serena Williams cartoon?

That clearly also drew on racist tropes. Are Asian people ever referred to as bulls as a way of demeaning them? Are they frequently portrayed as bulls as a means of dehumanising them? I'm not aware that they are.

It would be offensive to portray a Jew or a Muslim as a pig. Portraying a Hindi as a cow/bull applies equally imo.

Whilst this is a reply to you, it’s a request to the wider board community, please don’t feed the monkey.
If he drew Patel as a monkey it would change things....epic fail GB.

A little ironic.
You might want to leave a little longer for these sort of retorts. It might otherwise give the impression that you’ve prepared them in advance, which isn’t a great look.
