Yeah, that's pretty much JAFAAC.
Oh, that is horrible. Not even the caption can explain the deal with the maracas. That needs to go.
Image Source. Please update whenever an image is changed.That's bad. I could guess that he's being innocently bigoted about Mexicans but that's not actually shown. This should be pulled. I don't know how to illustrate the concept.
...So should we go with the comic I mentioned in the OP as a replacement?

Also we can take a crop of this comic: [1]
Damn, nitro, I was about to suggest the exact same thing!
And yeah, I agree. More specifically, the second and third panels would be the best (that is, if this comic had proper "panels" delimitation, but you get my drift).
The guy wasn't the bigot in the original; the couple in the foreground was. They gave him the maracas because they thought they'd be something he'd like as a Mexican and all.
Well, if you're going to suggest the above, it would probably work best if edited down as below:
Only complaint is that text is a little too small for my taste. Can you crop it as tight as possible? If it's still a little too small, we can overlay text to make it clearer.

Here's my stab at it:
I think I'd just say "[country] doesn't get out/mingle much."

It's Denmark, since there's a stereotype that all Danes are racist without realizing it. Caption can certainly be debated, mainly just wanted to throw the picture out there.
Perfect.

Check out my fanfiction!Good one.
Another vote or two for 13 and we can run with it.
You realize that saying "one or two more votes and we can run with it" is the death knell of an IP thread.
13 looks good enough to me.
Doesn't seem that way in my experience. If I've not chimed in on a thread I usually do it then.
Check out my fanfiction!Looks like we have a clear consensus then. I've uploaded, potholed and tagged the image.
Cool, thanks. Caption or no?
It’s rather difficult to tell what’s happening in the picture. Without the caption, it just looks like some guy is holding some toy. The caption itself indicates he’s been given maracas, but that’s veering on “just a face and a captain” territory.
Does anybody have any good ideas for a higher-quality replacement? This comic was mentioned in the Example Section of the article and could be a suitable replacement.
