Illustrates neither nobility, not bigotry.

Don't know how well we can picture this one. Maybe a comic panel? Alternatively, we could just leave it blank.

That is Archie Bunker. Apparently people think making the image link to the works page (All In The Family, in this case) solves the JAFAAC problem.

Archie Bunker is a pretty iconic TV character, so it's not as bad as a lot of examples.

That said, he's clearly no longer at that "universal recognition" level that it would take to overcome JAFAAC issues here.

I could totally buy that that dudes a bigot.

Put me in motion, drink the potion, use the lotion, drain the ocean, cause commotion, fake devotion, entertain a notion, be Nova Scotian

I could totally buy that he likes to smoke cigars, but what about that indicates he's a bigot?

The caption is doing all the work. He may be an iconic figure, but many people don't know who he is. I don't know who he is either and I've been around long enough to know that his chair is in the Smithsonian.

Seriously, I have no idea who this is. At all. So I think it definitely falls under JAFAAC.

"Archie Bunker is a pretty iconic TV character, so it's not as bad as a lot of examples.

He didn't have universal recognition period. I'm French, and I don't have a single clue of who's that guy. Hell, the French Wikipedia doesn't even have a article about All In The Family, so that says something. I don't doubt he's iconic, but for US audiences only. Conclusion: JAFAAC.

[up] I'm American and I have no idea who he is. Just...I guess...cigars are racist?

Regardless of whether he was ever iconic anywhere, he certainly isn't anymore.

Seems pretty close to unpicturable without the benefit of a "universal iconic character" to carry much of the load.

Probably time to lock the thread (and eliminate the page banner) unless anyone has a better idea?
