We do reserve the right to request that any avatar be removed or replaced for any reason whatsoever if we believe it is in the best interests of the site, or indeed if simply to stem a inflow of feedback debating the appropriateness of the avatar π

The fact that you don't even find the avatar "racist" yet still removed it just to mollify a tiny, irrational, shrieking minority is to your discredit.

Even if it is only one person who is truly offended it is justifiable in this situation.
Kunte Kinte is a "caricature of a black man"??????????
I have seen people banned and or warned just for making a joke about a Catholic Irish Priest. ( a white guy) And yet this obvious poking on Blacks as socially horrible as it is, become debatable? Give me a break this is blatant.
It makes no difference who the Black man is and what his image is about. If it isn't about racial issues then why fight it? The real reason it because it is.
