why racial profiling is wrong.

so in my graphic symbolism class we were assigned a partner to create a personal logo for.
i got paired up with, alphabetically, wade boone, who i have had classes with before and never have spoken a word to.
ever.
the project is to capture two physical attributes of your partner as well as his or her personal style/likes.
so i sit down to interview wade, as if he were a potential client, and the conversation goes as follows-
"so, wade, what are you into?"
at this point i am thinking wade loves hip hop, street life, the hustle, because he dresses like a thug.
boy, was i wrong.
wade enlightened me.
"yeah, well, i like anime. and samurais. i was thinking you could like have me chest up surrounded by chinese wisdom symbols and tribal signs. like my tattoos.(all tribals) I really love manga and japanese culture. so, like, the chinese wisdom symbols and the tribal signs could be melting into each other and shit. that's me, violent but wise. yeah."

so the picture above is my reference.
now, i have to come up with a logo for this anime loving, tao encouraging, samurai adoring, thug dressing, no sense of humor dude.
should be easy enough.
fuck.
