Hi,
I've come across people (not Christians) who say that white people should see G-d through their "white perspective", black people through their "black perspective" etc. This is quite clearly wading knee-deep in relativism, but could this also be considered making G-d in the image of man? The nature of the L-rd isn't constrained to limited human perspectives or determined by the race, colour, country etc. of a person.

I love the LORD, for he heard my voice; he heard my cry for mercy. Because he turned his ear to me, I will call on him as long as I live. (Psalm 116:1-2)
Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. (Hebrews 12:2)

If they had a social gospel in the days of the prodigal son, somebody would have given him a bed and a sandwich and he never would have gone home.
