I like the picture for this Post however it is missing the right quotas for Black and Hispanic. Please ensure these races are always displayed to the observer and they are shown in greater porportionate numbers than in reality. The occasional Asian, Native American, Subcontinent Indian or Middle Easterner may be interspersed but only after the primary two races have been clearly featured. Optional individuals shall include cross dressers, trans-sexuals and obvious gays. Should you fail to do so the media will call the publisher an insecure, racist, bigot, homophobe.
