Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I guess it's possible they're just being lazy or tribal. But since white guys in suits are also part of that tribe, I'm not sure how that works. To me it just seems they are simply drawing a likely scenario rather than an unlikely one.
It's why Garfield is a cat and not a hyena. Because who has a hyena?
Except this is not that, it's a specifically 50 or so year old white guy in a suit, which is a relatively small demographic of people, especially limiting it to people who regularly wear suits. Furthermore if it's just the most likely, why choose an east Asian or native American looking woman? That's a pretty small percent of the population
