The second picture is of a robot jockey being tested in Abu Dhabi, UAE.
The Captain says about as much about this as I do, but it's quite possible he's more interested in the neat-o techology of robot jockeys than the subtext. Of course, if it were, say, Swedes who gathered around a robot jockey who looked like the first picture, then and only then would we expect some outrage.
As for me, I'm less outraged than I am interested in the cultural subtext.
And, I'm wondering why the jockey has red lips.
