I'm white and don't consider myself hypersensitive when it comes to racial issues (kind of makes sense, because I'm white). I saw the problem with the poster immediately; it practically leapt off the screen and slapped me in the face. I can see how people would take offense to it because in my eyes, it does use a disproportionate number of people of color as examples of "not cool" behavior vs "cool" behavior. The kid chasing the other kid doesn't look white to me, I'd say he's supposed to be Latino. And the guy walking and drinking a beer doesn't look white either. I'd peg him as Latino or Asian. Hard to say since he's wearing sunglasses.

see, they should have all been bald, green or purple, with sunglasses so absolutely NO race or gender could be identified. . .
hey, maybe we all need to start wearing a full body covering (like a burqa but dont want to call it burqa b/c that is ethnic identifying)
That way, no one can ever be identified by a trait that makes us unique.
Wow, seriously. The sensitivity of people these days amazes me. This shouldnt of even been news worthy. Bunch of complainers, whining about a non issue.

LMAO!
Beer? Where do you see "beer"?
All I see is a dangerous GLASS bottle of soda pop or water.
As for your comment about the sunglasses... Are you inferring that you can't tell if he's Asian because the sunglasses hide the "slant" of his eyes? WTH?!
So much for your enlightened vision... ahem....because you're white. You don't even see how racist your comment is, do you?

Go to a random public pool and take a random picture. Do you think it would show the proper proportionate behaviour?
Oh my God. How far have we gone down the PC path in this country? We will go no further as an advanced nation until the chip is removed from the shoulders of the "oppressed". Give me a break.
