And I'm sure I've said this before, but I don't buy this slippery slope.
Yellow has been used to represent generic non-white peoples in the past.
It's just my opinion that it is incapable of representing black people.
(Someone once used the Simpsons as an example, and I don't think there are
hordes of people accusing them of discrimination.)
Back to these so-called 'figs, has anyone else looked at the legs and
thought they looked suspiciously one-piece? Scary...
