icon request

Could we possibly get a black military guy icon choice?

I think that the fact that the current icon is white isn't meant to be a white guy - it's just meant to represent an average joe blow in the military. Why not an Asian military guy? Or a Hispanic? Or a Brazilian military guy? You can't really appease everyone, unfortunately.

Oh i'm not requesting it as a matter of having things be more PC. I'm just requesting it as an avatar that I would like to use. Letting the powers that be know that there is atleast one person out there who would like to see one.

I understand what you mean, but I think it's meant that the icon is for all military personnel in general, and that there'd be far too many demands to be met if just the black guy got a military icon. (The same way with the American flag - it was used to show patriotism after 9/11 and the ribbon was also added - people requested a Canadian flag, and then someone requested a Brazilian flag I think of all flags - you try to do one good thing and it all kind of snowballs around you)

I would like some kind of a beast icon; this baboon just doesn't do it for me. The race of the beast does not matter to me.

P.S. Can I draw it?

I think before any new avatars, or even any other forum modifications, all effort by this forum's administrators should be spent upon... GETTING A COOKIE EMOTICON!!!

Someone pointed out in another forum that the current Military avatar is a Marine (you can tell by the sharp points on top, though it is missing the Eagle,Globe, and Anchor Symbol) and that there should be more service-specific avatars, and we can kill the racial issue with the same stone, i.e. make the army guy black, the navy person asian, the airforce person hispanic.

what are you trying to say?
all marines are white?
black guys make good cannon fodder?
asians belong at the bottom of the ocean?
hispanics...well i dunno what ur going for there..
