Student Newspaper Apologizes For "Crappy Tipping Jews" Cartoon

A comic published in the UA student newspaper on Tuesday has been heavily criticized as anti-Semitic and editors are responding with an apology to run in today's edition.

"I've gotten tons of feedback on it," said Allison Hornick, editor in chief of the Arizona Daily Wildcat. "Basically they think it's anti-Semitic and that we shouldn't have run it."

The comic, by staffer Joseph Topmiller, pictured a restaurant credit-card slip with a 7 percent tip and a signature for "Mark Goldfarb." Underneath was written: "Attention all crappy tipping Jews!!! Just because you're 'screwing' the server ... does not mean that it's a mitzvah."
