5. I have insider information.
That notwithstanding, the icon is undeniably a white person.

How come there are no black, hispanic or asian icons?

11. Na, he's a stretchy freeky pirate king
Racist or sexist? Such notions wouldn't occur to him. Mind ya... he does hang out with a guy that may be a bit of a lathario but even he isn't really a misogynist. More a case of being easily love struck.
