One thing it's interesting to see is how much the racial caricatures look like each other. Early 19th c. Irish caricatures look A LOT like the black caricatures that were going around at the same time, even though actual ethnic Irish people and actual black people don't tend to look that much alike in RL -- the cartoon versions shared a lot of physical features like apelike mouths, big feet, long arms. . . Anti-immigrant cartoons from 1900 of scary Mediterraneans look A LOT like anti-immigrant cartoons today of scary Mexicans, and so on. It's all about the Other vs. "our" jobs, women, religion, culture; who gets otherized changes according to a bunch of factors.
