And your charge to rectify this is to go and critique graphics?  Wow I guess all of the evil in the world better look out there is a fat troll on a couch somewhere fighting for justice! How much you do you make while sitting in front of a computer sipping non-diet soda ruminating over what this particular logo will mean to the family who dares everything to cross a border in the middle of the night at the hope of a better life making less than minimum wage.  Although they would love to take up the 'cause' with you, unfortunately they are trying to survive and do not have the time to troll. Pointing out a logo as racism is a slap in the face of everyone who attempts to truly address racism or inequality wherever it exists.  You trivialize what so many people have gone through, what so many people are GOING through right now by casually pointing out logos as racist.   I would like to forward your contact information to some people in Uganda, Mexico, Tibet, Northern Iraq, Turkey, Darfur, Southern India, to let them know that they are not alone in their plight, but that there is also a fatass in the U.S. that is going through the EXACT same thing and he is not going to take it anymore!

Sure, you've got things like Ducktyping, Modules, etc in Ruby, but the fundamentals are still there and the fundamental principles still apply. I don't get your comment about "inbreed" [sic]. Sounds like you've got some bitterness about something and you're taking it out in my blog. I disagree with this: “OO is way different in Ruby/Javascript” – it is fundamentally the same.

i have a higher tolerance to racism that an average … the theme of the logo n’ name doesn’t really bug me … but if i am to pick yes/no i would call it racist based on the fact that it is a stereotyped mexican/texan lingo which has nothing to do with the actual content or style of the content published in the site

Would it change your opinion at all to know that the name, logo, mascot, etc were all chosen and designed by people of Hispanic origin?
