No, I'm white. A honkey. A cracker. A Casper. A person of western European

While it was only a sarcastic suggestion, the "symbolism" most see in Mozilla
comes from within themselves, rather than anything overt in the graphics. It has
a constructivist feel, but the "communist" or "socialist" that some derive from
it is inferred. I have yet to hear of people boycotting ActiveState's products
due to their use of the constructivist style.

If you feel that the graphic themes presented at mozilla.org are communist and
glorifying communism, you probably also would feel that the Internet promotes
anarchy, beaches promote pornography and promiscuity, and TV rots your brain...
