There's about a dozen white males in that photo. Lady needs her eyes checked. I count 3 white males in the 2nd row alone (maybe 4 depending on if the kid in glasses is hispanic or white).

When are people going to learn that posting ANYTHING on Facebook when your business is public-facing is a bad move?

Went to an LSU football game and it was the same. Didn't see one white person there, it was like the god damned Masters Tournament

I think most people of reasonable intelligence, below the age of 35, have caught on. For frick's sake, Facebook has me labelled as a 'political moderate', which makes me giggle.

I don't see anything wrong with that statement

Besides the hyperbole? The girl is dumb, and made a dumb comment for someone in the customer relations line of business. Stupid games, stupid prizes.

Pretty much. Even if you agree with her sentiment (I do not), she deserves to be fired for being a moron. It's hard to believe that so many people still don't understand social media.

What the frick she is talking about? There are plenty of white males in the photo. That picture is so standard and unoffensive and she finds a way to be offended

She also appears to think that kids of Indian and Chinese ethnicity are foreign even if they were born and raised in the United States or even if their parents were born and raised in the United States.

14 percent of the class is from a foreign country. This includes students from Germany, Spain, Canada, Turkey, Ukraine, Switzerland, Denmark, etc, and I know she isn't referring to those kids.

To be honest, I thought I would have seen more asians in the photo. There were tons there when I was right down the road. Most were Americans though.

They were in the library studying instead of wasting their time for useless photo shoots.

indeed

and while this woman is clearly an idiot for multiple reasons, I do hate the whole "you said something online that offended me, so now I'll go inform your employer so you lose your job" trend

Except it’s not remotely factual.

If the kids she’s talking about have “perfect scores and GPAs” and “aren’t getting in anywhere” the problem isn’t the “foreign” kids they’re letting in.
