There aren't "ghetto" avatars on here because of marketing. Think about it. I'll use orange juice as an anology. You have OJ w/o pulp (non-ghetto) and with pulp (ghetto). You happen to love it with pulp but if it isn't available will get it without pulp whereas those who DO NOT like pulp WILL NOT take it with pulp. Does that make sense.
Okay, think food. You love spicey. You husband doesn't. If you cook a spicey meal, he will not eat it. But if you cook a non-spicey meal you both will eat it.
Those people who usually like extra stuff will settle for less if nothing more is available (evident by the fact that you have an avatar). thos who like less will probably not lean towards the more.
Besides, if Yahoo! put "ghetto"-themed avatars and stuff, they'd be hearing from the NAACP, Jessie Jackson, Al sharpton, and every other activist because of promoting racial stereotypes. When you think ghetto, what's your first thought? Not Bill Gates and not little blonde suzie. You think black, hispanic, you think boomquiesha and Shaqueeta. You think gold teeth and weaves. Definintely wouldn't show up here.
What you should ask for is a more diverse selection. Like more "urban" clothes and backgrounds, accessories etc for the avatars.
