How R U?!

Sometimes in life potentially racist and non-politically correct things happen.  Like this card and the stamp set it comes from.

I thought it was a nifty enough stamp set, sort of edgy and definitely different.  It fit in with the other few Santa Fe, New Mexico inspired stamps that A Muse put out.  I vaguely wondered if anyone would take offense to it but didn't really think it an issue.

That is until some of my fellow consultants started talking about how this set would would make great Thanksgiving cards.  I thought that was crossing a line.  I asked a card making workshop group what they thought and many felt like me that the set was okay but not for Thanksgiving and a couple of ladies thought it was outright racist and/or politically wrong.

All that happened before I owned the set. Now that I happen to have it, of course I had to make a card and send it to the biggest naysayer in the above group.  She knows I did it to put a smile on her face.  And yes, it really does say "R U?" on the inside.
