Of course traveling around inner cities I have seen far worse. It's life. Unfortunately perhaps, but still life.
So why stop with a bit of graffiti? Shouldn't the artist have added some rats, moldering garbage, used condoms, and drug paraphernalia to the scene? Maybe the kid should have some bruises, maybe there ought to be some hookers and child predators lurking in the shadows. For "realism."

The point of the illustration is clear without any of this "realism." It is also clear without the offensive word, so why include it?
