But the arrangements of those words and images without anything else to give it meaning conjure the idea that it's referring to race. Two very happy white people with the word "clean" against it reminds me of an old racist soap ad. It featured a black kid and a white kid. The white kid asks "doesn't your mommy wash you with...soap?" White supremacists tend to talk of whiteness as purity and cleanliness. Plus the one guy is bald. So yah...context. It's useful.
