lol, I didn't think you were a skinhead. Instead, I thought your hair left you instead of the other way around  :P
lol, my hair left me in my early twenties. Well, not completely, but I am bald as much as one can be due to genetics and hormones.

Wow!
That thought has never, not for a second, crossed my mind.
Actually, I'm confused.
What is it that's so bad about 'Whitechild'?
Can't be the 'child' part. It must be the word 'white'.
Or it might be that people are over sensitive and pushing the race card as far as it would go.
My bet goes on the latter.

I have no desire or reason to "push the race card" (I am "white"). I'd never heard the name 'whitechild' before, but that, combined with the skinhead appearance, concerned me. It is an unfortunate fact that there are a lot of racists left in the US. I wish it were not true, but it is.

Actually, Ivan is a dead-ringer for my brother-in-law.  Who is quite handsome, BTW. 

Other than the hairstyle I don't think he looks anything like Telly Savalas.   :P

On the "racism" issue, people's interpretations may have something to do with where they live or their life experience. 

Here in the Southern US racism is alive and well and something you get confronted with on a fairly regular basis.

I'm offended by your new name. Dream is prejudiced against those of us who suffer from insomnia, and what about all those people without, uh.... frames.

what?

Hi everyone,
I am just informing you that I had to change my username from Whitechild to Dreamframer, because I had comments from 3 people that my username sounds kinda racist.
.......................
So, I had to change my username, and I came up with Dreamframer.
 

Heh
It seams more and more people needs lobotomy this days.
What are the names of this wannabe soul or whatever keepers?
Why dont you suggest them to put you on ignore list if they are so smart with they narrow minded to just judge you by you avatar name without read any of you posts?!
I dont know what I will do in you place, de facto I know. If I will be so calm I will put them on ignore and make post with they names.
If its not my day I will suggest them/s to fck off of me in tripple jump...

I got to admit, the notion did cross my mind too, but only momentarily. Just have to read anyone of your posts to see that, you are more than a nice guy. It is unfortunate that you've been forced by circumstances to change ur username. However, probably a wise decision. There have been so many white supremacist movements and also governments in recent history (the word recent also has it's own interpretation), that people could easily form a negative perception of your name, whether that could affect sales, I don't know. The name Dreamframer is also a memorable one. Anyway, whatever the name, it's the photos that count.

You should have told people you were a balding albino and to stop being racist!

Ivan, you are one of the nicest people I have met online and don't seem to have a mean or racist bone in your body.

I just assumed that it was your actual name.


I heard that Whitechild is pretty common English last name, so I was surprised that no one took that nick name in microstock world...

I've often noticed in my part of america that hardcore anti-racism people are usually that way because they themselves are racists. I could care less what color a person is. It means absolutely nothing .. you could be black and call yourself BlackChild .. not only would it not offend me I wouldn't even stop to think "BlackChild .. a black guy .. ahhh I get it." I wouldn't notice until somebody pointed it out to me. But then again in our society it doesn't matter what you do or say .. provided that you are not white .. it's accepted for a black to "represent" and draw attention to their color, form groups based on color, ummmm create a web browser just for black people ... BlackBird .. mainstream minority comedians can slam on whites on TV all night long but turn it around and it's a controversy ... and now WhiteChild feels the need to change the name he has been using forever and a day because people are actually offended by it. That's just stupid. I'm suddenly feeling the need to change my name to CrackerBoy just because I hate the idea of people actually having the nerve to complain about his name.

Oh and I never thought you was a skinhead. :)

I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy.  ;)

Guys thanks for your compliments and support.
Well, there is a world class name in R&B music, a black guy Rodney Jerkins who calls him self "Darkchild". And there is even DJ Whitechild, also well known name etc.
@madelaide: Maria, you can call me Dreamfarmer, or whatever, lol :D no problem.

I don't see any of it said!

BlackChild, WhiteChild, YellowChild or WhateverChild is not racist at all!

First people must adopt that NICKNAME is what it is - just a nickname.

Those who made you change are thinking that anything anywhere is racism... And they are wrong.

I am sick of double moral standards in many countries.

It is 21st Century people! Why would anyone think that someone's nick is racist?

What a case from nothing - it is stupid indeed!

For those three 'smarties' - live YOUR life and don't whine about others people personal details with no matter if they are white or black.

you miss the point ENTIRELY -- no one here thought the name indicated racism - the problem is that the BUYER mightand that's too big a risk to take;

I don't believe that may be a problem. If there is what buyer wants then buyer will buy with no matter what your nick is!
So, if there is such buyer I am really sad to hear that.

Ivan, I don't think you had to change your nickname. I also come from Balkans and I'm sure you don't even have an opinion about black people. You have your opinion about Serbs, Muslims and Croats and if your nickname was something like Cetnik or Ustasa it would be really bad. But, black people, we don't know them.

Well, Dook, the problem is our buyers are from all around the world, and most of them don't care if I write that I am Cetnik, Ustasa or Muslim. But Whitechild...hmm. As you could see, even some people on this forum thought I am a skinhead.

What reminds me, my great-grandparents were Italian, and had never seen black people in Italy.  My great-grandmother, the first time she saw one here in Brazil (late 19th century), went screaming into her house - she had no idea that black people existed.

Well... That about 'skinhead' is because you are bold-shaved ;-)

Dаmn stereotypes. I remember the society were "white" was just another color and "rainbow" was just a beautiful sky phenomenon pictured in almost all illustrated kids books.
