    Perhaps neither ... just a guy in a gorilla costume wearing an Artest jersey.

    Coincidentally with two former US Presidents sitting aside?

    Yeah, I'm not buying it. It's racism.

    Why would that make it race-related?

    Yeah, I don't get how this is race-related either. Then again, I spend zero time in the D&D or reading about US politics. (go Obama! is probably the only opinion I have towards the entire topic.)

    Your current President is African-American.

    Isn't it racialism to associate black people to gorilla or ape?

    [Edit] I have no idea if the term 'black people' is offensive or not, let me know if I made a mistake here.

    I think you're reading too much into it. Like that South Park episode about the 'racist flag', intepreting everything as racism is actually a pretty racist activity. The wisdom of South Park. ;)

    May be, may be not.

    Just want to know where you guys draw the line.

    I threw a stone into the lake, it didn't ripple much. I think I get the point. :)

    It's not lack of D&D activities.
    It's lack of sense of humor.

    I was sitting about 3 rows behind these guys, was wondering where i was in the picture...but I didnt even notice the gorilla outfit. They took the masks off about 15 minutes into the game. Just some high school kids trying to get on tv, dancing crazy after each basket.

    I see ... I wasn't making that connection that the guy in the gorilla suit was supposed to represent Obama.

    Ya I am about 2 people away from where the photo ends, all the people that sit next to me are in it, funny stuff.

    I still dont see why this is in D&D, but to each its own

    Intention is clearly racist. No way in hell you can have me believe it is some random guy in a gorilla suit right next to the Clinton/Bush mask not associated with them.
