I've noticed that the 17-24 age group now-a-days have a severe case of "us against the world" syndrome in which they rebel against anything in which they perceive as an authority figure. Let me explain something to you, I am not an authority figure nor are any of the other mods. We are just trying to help out G with his board and help members. In doing this we try to keep the board peaceful.
With this said, efforts to be clever and prove that elite is a hypocritical site are futile(sp). If you think that a smiley face with an afro is racist send an email to G and request it be taken off the site. But I've seen white guys with afro's. I guess that we should get rid of the alien face too, it seems to point to only one race. For that fact, I guess the only smiley face that is politically correct is the one which changes color.
