Quadruple -- Trayvon's name is misspelled. (Googling, "Treyvon" is
about 0.1% of "Trayvon" ... although still at about 1
million. Apparently college editorial cartoonists can't read, or
aren't smart enough to know what to read.
If I've offended anyone for an ethnic, racial, or class slur, I
apologize. Those words really aren't who I am.
