ethnic/art rant 

Okay most “race” stuff is pointless but complaining that an artist portrays only Black people is EVEN POINTLESSIER;

* how often have artists portrayed only Caucasians, so why *not* only Black people?
* by definition there have been centuries of African art with nothing but Black people
* similarly I can walk into parts of Oakland and be the only pale skinned person there, so why would art work different?
* most importantly if someone is stoked to draw *anything*, why stop them?
