See how ridiculous this argument is?

Sure the argument may seem ridiculous if you are narrowly assuming our statements are JUST about racial exclusion in architectural renderings. However, I think you are smart enough to realize the debate here stems from the much larger issues on racial exclusion, treatment, discrimination, employment, wealth, justice system, education, home ownership, media....etc.
Not to get into an argument, but the only ridiculous aspect of this debate is if anyone truly believes there is not a racial divide in this city and country. The architectural rendering issue is just the tip of the f'en iceberg, but the debate needs to start somewhere and in this case it is something as "ridiculous" as racial exclusion in architectural renderings. Cheese 'n Rice can't these illustrators throw African Americans a bone and draw at least 1 brotha or sista into the picture?
Seriously, in the real world there may be 2 Americas, but can't the architects at least make the world seem a little more harmonious in a goddamn picture? To me that is what is ridiculous.
