rmThe Republicans seek advice from the Internet, then have to deal with the fact that they got some.
In some places it's hard to tell if it's satire or good ol' Republican bigotry. In others... well, you do want a race of super-fast dolphins, don't you?
Ooopsie.

Date: 2010-05-26 11:10 pm (UTC)- White people apparently only have black or blonde hair.
- There is no light-brown with black-hair combination so apparently Native Americans and Asians don't exist
- if you don't want to buy into the blatant racial profiling on a massively Republican site, your only option is a dark-shadow "anonymous informant" image which looks really sinister
- Even the anonymous informant options are strongly gendered
I know we're not dealing with a group that's necessarily strong on the fine points of Internet politics, but if you're going to offer icons that are supposed to "look like me," the least you could do is offer a Pick Skin, Pick Hair palette and a neutral No Identifiers option in light green.
