What’s going on?
listen
Listen wastrel, I know you were probably just being facetious, but…some people might get offended by your avatar. Portraying a black person as well “goofy looking” to say the least, may get some negative responses. In today’s society, and especially on the internet, one has to be very conscious of offending others, so please think next time before you act.
looks perfectly normal to me, what’s the big deal?
People of all races can be hideously ugly!
not to mention
Black history month is right around the corner, so doing this now is like a slap in the face.
I always thought wastrel was a guy, but now he has a female avatar… Maybe he had that opertion he was talking about…
That’s no woman baby, that’s a MAN!

Goofy looking? those are YOUR words mister!
Personally I think she looks pretty hot.
The picture scared me the first time I saw it.

Nigga please.
I’m black?
no
I don’t think anyone’s ever called you black, Wastrel, in fact that would make it less insulting if you were. As it is though, it seems clearly like a portrayal of the black person as rediculous, and on martin luther king day, and with black history month coming around, tensions may be high at this time.
Zaron’s right Wastrel.
Try the Jacko avatar.
Zaron is correct.

OK but remember this Osiris, if you decide to have an avatar of some freaky white person (and there’s plenty) I doubt anyone will object.
What’s the big deal? His avatar is more frightening than offensive.
Yes, but the white facial features have not been an object of ridicule for several centuries. Theres a bit of clowning about white girls asses, but thats about it. The reinforcement of negative attitudes towards African features in a time where children are seriously concerned about their large noses, “big bubbalicious lips”, “bb ball hair” and “burnt” skin is unacceptable. Seriously, in the black community African features are objects of ridicule. Whens the last time youve seen black girl without a perm?
white facial features have been an object of ridicule for several centuries in asia!
ugly is as ugly does. wastrel, why don’t you use a pic of tyra banks instead if you are confused about your sexuality?
When was the last time you saw anyone with a perm?
