Emoticon ethnic stereotypes

How come the only black emoticon is smoking a number?

Or are they being racist because they have less black smileys than yellow ones? I also found the french fries a little appalling.

Parkinsons is a seriously debilitating illness and I find it highly offensive that you would poke fun at people who have been rendered useless by it.
