re: NAACP ask festival poster artist to apologize

Put black people on the poster - racist

My thought too on the matter. Which is why more and more you see posters and graphics showing 3 different ethnic groups, 2/3 of the people are women, and sometimes at least 1 person is physically handicapped.

I understand the need for diversity in American culture. However, it's sad that we have become so hyper PC that we must constantly depict groups of images in ratios that make absolutely no sense in most parts of the county. It has nothing to do with socio-economics, but rather the proportions of these communities simply have a large majority.

So, perhaps this artist wanted to feature the AA community in his artwork? Why is that racist? Do people jump to the conclusion that depicting black kids in any sort of rural or farm setting automatically paints a picture of plantation life and slavery?
