Anyone who censors that photo is no better than a squealing fundamentalist raging at the publication of a caricature of their God. It actually makes me more than a little annoyed to see the genuine issue of racism in our society reduced to this shit.

The first photo
isn't as far as I'm concerned racist. It could however be used in a racist manner and for me it would come down to the context it was used in.
As a galaxy image I think you would have to delete it as it could come across racist in the context that a galaxy image imposes. A caption however might change and soften the negative context.
On the forums, in the way you used it however I don't believe it is racist in the slightest. As such I would have left it personally
