Clarity and being descriptive are important.

Default Is the use of black mannequins racist?

Interesting thread.

I find it also interesting how TV deals with race (politically correct).
On Star Trek, how come there are black and yellow Klingons and all
beings from other other planets?

The biggest problem with race is, no matter what you say, somebody
will get offended.

It was probably the smell of so much shoe polish that offended them.

I used to shine my dad's Stacy Adams...the polish took days to come off my finger tips. My dad used to brinng home MEK from work. He showed me how to use a bit on a clean rag to get most of the pigment off.

They should make the mannequins between a size 6 and a 10 to represent the average size woman.

We know that writing about the correct statistics concerning AA violence is racist. Reporting the dropout rate of DPS students is racist. Asking for fair testing standards of incoming college students is racist.

The real question is... In 2013, what isn't racist?

I doubt anyone is offended... most are amused by your obsession. Who the heck walks around a mall counting mannequins..lol.

It wasn't a mall - it was a "Town Center" - and it was only one store.

Harrier has no obsession.
