Short story:

In the wake of Sir Tom Jones revealing that he is having a DNA test to establish whether or not he has any black ancestry, The Daily Mail publishes a 'spectacularly racist' cartoon by the illustrator Mac. The cartoon shows two white explorers, one reading a newspaper with the headline "'Am I black?' asks Tom Jones", while another approaches two caricature black tribesmen with a test-tube, clutching a briefcase adorned with the words "DNA tests". The cartoon caption reads: "The DNA matches - now just one more test... can you sing Delilah?"
