Before I say anything else I think we need to avoid falling into a White folks/Black folks Dichotomy in our discussion.

Bear in mind, of course, that I'm speaking on average. There are certainly areas throughout the country where full-on lynchtastic cross-burning sheet-wearing bigotry is operating in full effect. My time in Shasta County, California, for instance, provided quite the horrifying reminder for me that we as a nation still have a long way to go. A 17-year-old autistic boy who wandered out of his house one night and got lost ended up being beaten by police, having his arm broken, and hauled off to jail, which probably wouldn't have happened had he not been black. A seriously ill white woman failed to receive treatment at the local hospital because the man who brought her in was black. That sort of thing.

Not exactly a hospitable area for someone who wasn't a straight, white, Christian man, and as someone who doesn't strictly fall into three out of four of those qualifiers, I didn't exactly make an effort to involve myself in the community.

...When did you start watching me undress?

When you got so damn sexy, precious.
Edit: I'm actually going to seriously debate, But there's butt-loads of sources I have to rustle up, so for now, I'm sticking to Skeeving on people and trying to lightly guide the discussion in a positive direction.

Funka, there's some rather insulting stuff in your post, might wanna re-read it.

You know, until I read this, I never thought of Jinx as a black caricature with the dark skin and giant lips.

Now I can't stop seeing it.

I'm not sure if I should hate you or Nintendo more for this new turn of events.

Dude, Mr Popo. Japan Loves them some Sambos.

I think it was the fact that Jinx is some kind of hideous inhuman monster + the blonde hair that kept me from noticing it. Or maybe it was the age at which I first saw it, and I never really looked at it again.

I don't know.

All I know is I miss my ignorance, and now Gem's avatar makes me want to punch everything, too.

Yeah, that's kinda the point.

yeah I guess the gist of what I said was "don't be poor" so heh, I can totally see how that's insulting.

But seriously man, nobody cares how white, brown or black you are if you've got the cheddar, that's why I love America.
