determining factors

a close friend of mine asked for advice on two guys she was seeing. she wanted to know which one seemed like the better choice. one, she said, may be a heroin addict, is 30 yrs old, and lives with his mom. the other is 21, lives on his own, and has a photograph of himself with his hand in the air, a little mustache drawn above his lip and the accompanying quote states " sieg heil 4life" (as a "joke") , and this tatoo that he got for free (also a "joke");



yes, it does say "white power" in the cloud , and there is a swastika on the unicorn.
(and i used to enjoy unicorns........)
weighing the options, hmmmm. that is a tough one.
apparently the "nazi" as even she has come to refer to him as, is better in bed.
i told her to paint herself brown and see if he would still have sex with her.
and then i thought about it; what a disturbing series of photographs that would make.
just in general, what if self-proclaimed or even closet racists were forced to engage in any intimate situation with the "other" , what resulting portraits would come out of it?
the tension makes me shudder. better yet what if you put a member of kkk and a black person in a photo booth together (if they did not kill eachother first....) 0r a bible thumping holy roller in a photo booth with a gay person? the notion of pushing comfort levels is a concept artists have toyed with for decades; vito acconci's "seedbed" performance piece comes to mind..... or paul macarthy and his vomiting with his genitals exposed......
yet the boundaries of predjudices is something i have not yet seen much of, for how possible is it to make a person so uncomfortable, perhaps to the point of aggression, and then take their photograph?
