Just becuase we've determined that something is unacceptable here in the states dosent mean that it is unaversally accepted as such, or even should be. Other countries have the right to be however they want to be.
We need to get off our soapbox and quit exporting our value system on the rest of the world. If they wanna end racism in their counntris, thats their deal.
I'd also liek to remind you that we in the US are HARDLY in a position to lecture other countries on race relations. Remember it was less than 50 years ago that seperate but equal WAS THE LAW OF THE LAND here. Also, we in America still have racial slurs made - hell, by greeks no less. Search 'blackface' on GC and you'll see what I mean. So lets fix our shit here before we go demanding others do the same.

Your post makes no sense to me. I don't think its to much to ask other countries to not produce racist images of people of African descent. How is that cultural-centric? Other countries do have a right to do what they want but when it negatively affects people who look like me then I WILL speak up.
