There’s a difference between stupidity and a hate crime.[/quote]
I’m not seeing the problem here. According to the article: “all the “not cool” rule-breakers appear to be people of color”.
That’s a flat out lie. There’s 5 “not cool” instances:
1. Top right is a very white guy with sunglasses holding a glass bottle. Obviously, no glass is allowed at the pool. Last I checked white people weren’t considered people of color. Where’s the outrage? Misclassifying a person like that. That’s racist!
2. Top left are 2 boys running. One white, one black with a arrow pointing between them. Obviously, you aren’t allowed to run around the pool. The arrow doesn’t single out the person of color, but both the boys who are running. The white boy isn’t a person of color. Oh, and they showed the black boy ahead of him in that foot race. That’s racist!
3. Left of center appears to be a black boy diving into the pool. No diving? Not sure. So what.
4. Right of center is a kid who appears to be drowning? He looks like a dude with a tan, not a black kid. Same with the kid in the foreground.
5. Bottom, right. Looks like a black girl pushing a white girl into the pool. Obviously frowned upon. Racist? Of course not. Unless you see racism in everything.
Finally, I heard some nonsense about blacks are being stereotyped as not able to swim. The lifeguard on the right is black.
Should the Red Cross have known people would find a way to make it racist? Of course.[/quote]
Well I am offended. There is no asian representation in this cartoon. What is Red Cross thinking? Do they think us Asians never use the pool because we are too busy studying all the time?
