White Rabbit,
you have put up a racist avatar. Would you mind to exchange it for another?

Yes, it is an affront to black people, Carol. Maybe Rabbit hasn't realized it and hasn't even intended any discrimination. Nevertheless it is clearly racist.

| Tell you what... when you succeed in getting all the Planet Of The Apes movies banned for being racist, I'll consider changing my avatar.

I don't recall any apes running around in bras in any of the Planet of the Apes movies....did I miss a scene??
I can see Isis's point and I agree.

Thank you, Scam. I'm glad, there is at least one single person here on board that is of adequate sensibility for this kind of pics.

We're obviosly having a cognitive dissounance due to our diverging cultural backgrounds and have reached an impasse.

| Or you've grossly overreacted to an innocuous avatar based on your own prejudices. I will not be changing my avatar because there isn't a racist thing about it, i.e., the solution to your problem is not a change made by me, but by you.

LMAO.
You're getting personal, because I do get up for discrimination. I had acknowledged that you might not have been aware of the potential and effective message of your new avatar, that shows a black women (this a colored female corp and not an ape corp) with a gorilla mask and a white bra. ..... I can even see more in this pic, but I won't tell you.
Go heal yourself!

Isis ,
While I think the avatar in question is not particularly funny, I don't see the racism you are refrring to. It clearly is a gorilla and not a human being. It could certainly be considered sexist but racist..?
IMO you are the one comparing a gorilla to a black person. That seems ...well, racist to me.
I'm sure you didn't intend that , but that's the way I interpret your stance.
ps: Is it racist to dress up any animal like that or just a gorilla?

The only bones I pick are chicken and turkey bones.
