The author of the thread did have an avatar of someone or something depicting a black face. I had never seen it before and it did not appear to be one of the more common stereotypical ones seen in the media. That avatar has since been removed, but I do not know when. A320's post did not make clear that it was the avatar he found offensive. I read his post to indicate he did not like the fact that Papa L is a permanent resident (green card holder). It is obvious I misunderstood you, A320, and for that I apologize. Like fbh, I find stereotypes and caricatures highly offensive, and they have no place in the forums.
