The afro guy was added after someone on MTV stated that there wasn't enough diversity in emoticons.  There's now a turban guy too.  To be in line with the politically correct folks we should probably add more diverse, non-yellow smiley faces :)

Actually,  :afro: was sort of what my hair looked like from '72-'77... Then again, I also had embroidered jeans, a Pisces medallion, one or two jumpsuits, and even some platform shoes...

Good thing I never had a red and white Torino!
