Are these emoticons encouraging stereotypes... :caucasian: ...wait...thats not here is it... Whats the purpose of these? How would and when would you use them in a discussion? I'm not Mexican but it seems a little odd, any colored people behind the scenes at the org? .:. [This message was edited Mon Oct 20 12:19:57 PDT 2003 by FlyingCloudPassenger] | |

Yellow pimps...definitely not your typical Asian stereotype.
And Fat Albert...what...all black people are fat? I don't get it...where's the stereotype? The Mexican dude with the hat...uh...maybe...but what does it matter? Lighten up. Fear is the mind-killer. | |

It's not offensive, don't be ridiculous. I think you may have positive intentions but I feel you are taking political correctness a little too far.
There's nothing "offensive" about a little character with a sombrero, or someone with a pimp hat. If you are seriously telling me you are attributing racial identities to these little emoticons and you therefore feel that the emoticons are perpetuating racial stereotypes... well I think you might be taking things a bit too seriously. However, that is just my opinion and not an official Prince.org statement or anything. | |
