# But people did the same thing to George Bush and no-one accused them of being racist
The 'racism' is in your head.

# if i continue
I will look like a hyper-critical PC twit, but unfortunately there is a trend amongst racist people to call black people monkeys. Thankfully, I seriously doubt any of those look at b3ta. I think the whole computer thing might be beyond them to be honest...

A caricature is surely an exageration of a characteristic of someone, people chimpified GWB because he acted like a monkey.

But feck it, it's not intended as racist so I don't care, just that I can see why some people might see this as such if it was viewed out of context. That, and I'm being an arguementative twat.

# You've got a valid point though
if a racist organisation were to find this image they could very well use it as racist propaganda.

Fuck, if the tabloid press were to find it they'd probably have headlines of "RACIST IMAGES RIFE ON PUERILE DIGITAL ARTS WEBSITE..."
