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.
