And I'm afraid we'll have to judge you by the standard of what you post - which is only fair.In all fairness your image is just a collection of items in a vending machine and therefore any inference of racism is in the eyes of those viewing the image, however you do yourself no favours by pandering to such stereotypes or being trollish when people, quite rightly, complain about said stereotyping.
If it wasn't your intention - state so. If it was then you will be held up as a racist bigot which, sorry to say, you will have to live with here.

The the watermelon in the vending machine was put there because itwould be an item that would surely spoil--had no racial intent. Next I put live fish, rabbits and baked chicken--again, as items that would not survive the machine. It was only after using and discarding a variety of items that I decided on the 'gang theme' items.
All of your concerns of "racism" aside, these Items WOULD be hot sellers in, say, a ghetto convenience store, whether b3tans like the idea or not.
I don't BELIEVE racial stereotypes any more than I believe the Queen is a blow-up doll. But I see no reason to avoid depicting them JUST to avoid the wrath of people who have been programmed to scream "racism."

I assume you are pointing out the heartlessness in some of the postsbut because certain people can't hang a "racist" label on that, it is condoned here as humor. Hypocrites abound on this forum.
