Shouldn't the player have the options to choose a white, black, Asian, or Eskimo picture?

They prefer to be called Inuit. Eskimo is a derogatory term (from another language I believe) meaning "meat eater" (and it doesn't have good conotations.

You're a racist!

In French, the word is spelled "Esquimaux".

i am jewish, and i think there should be a jewish icon. Maybe a rabbi with a beard. Or maybe an old jewish lady cooking chicken soup. every race and ethnicity should be fairly represented. We should all boycott PP until they do the right thing! [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Since I am originally from a hicktown, I would like to see redneck player. Perhaps a mullet and a belt buckle with a nascar shirt. Boycott on.

As one player at my table was calling another player at my table a "nigga", I noticed that all the player icons depict white people.

Shouldn't the player have the options to choose a white, black, Asian, or Eskimo picture? I'd be pissed if I weren't white.

I'm surprised no one has pointed out the irony of this post.

I would personally be more pissed about being called that by a some lame white poser than I would be about not being culturally represented by a retarded looking online mannequin.

It isn't every other member of PartyPoker's fault that you are so backwards that you value not being called racial slurs over being able to choose the race of the avatar we all have turned off.
