Racist and offensive avatars

Not sure where this post belongs.
Anyone one else offended by certain avatars?

Does anyone else not want to look at PairOfElevens avatar when browsing through the forum?

It is a rather nauseating image of the gaping mouth of a toothless Jim Crow caricature.

Link to one of his posts

I'm not African American, by the way, nor particularly politically correct. I'd just rather not have to watch these images on an otherwise terrific forum. His posts are otherwise rather good.

Please feel free to flame the newbie.
