Heck, I'll walk blindfolded into this mine field. Why not?

If your logo was just empty space, some 'woke' idiot would call you a racist due to the emptiness being white, and not reflective of other races. You can't win, so do what you think is right.

My girlfriend proudly calls herself a 'halfer' - her mother is 100% Korean. She said, "What's the problem? Because the guy looks angry?" I said no, what race do you think the guy is, and she said, "Oh, I guess he could be a fat black guy, like in 'Pulp Fiction,' maybe a white guy or an Asian...but I guess, probably Asian????" She was unsure. I assume that's what you're worried about, looking like an Asian stereotype??

If you're overly concerned, then fine tune the pic a bit to eliminate anything you fear will be problematic. By doing that, there's an added benefit. Now it would be an illustration drawn by both your grandfather AND you together, which might make the end result more poignant.

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.

+1 my sentiments exactly.

Anything can be considered racist by morons. I tend to avoid caring what they think. Also when did anyone ever get a tattoo and worry if it offended anyone? If you like it get it, if not don't.
