Racist Imagery on Dolls.

Have we tried asking the map creator about it maybe it has a different meaning !

I'm not a fan of Racist Imagery on Dolls.

Blackface is also something completely different. This is 'just' a caricature of a black person utilizing the stereotypes of the time.

The map creator's intentions in including this texture are irrelevant to this discussion. The facts of the matter are that it IS a political cartoon and it IS blackface. I'm not sure if you meant to imply otherwise in the quoted portion but this is textbook blackface. I'm not going to argue about whether or not blackface is the ACT of making one's face black or the act AND imagery of it because I think that is asinine. I also think we can both agree that there are bigger problems out there, which is why I find it strange that you have so much to say about this. If it's not a big deal, let's just change it and move on with our lives.
