If there was racist INTENT, it’s pretty impossible to show and there’s too much assuming going on as it is today.

As far as the “startling bad taste” charge that too is pretty subjective especially in the world we subject children to these days. Bad taste is everywhere and some call it genius. You’ll never be able to eliminate “bad taste” anywhere.

And wouldn’t it be a GOOD thing if it didn’t cross the teacher’s mind that someone would flip out and deem a picture of an ignorant toothless person who happens to be black as racist? Aren’t we falling into the trap of lowered expectations if we must run everything we do or say through a racial filter lest someone, somewhere might be offended?

Yes it would, but we aren't quite there yet.

Absolutely NOT!!! We can’t have that sort of mindless
acceptance of equality going on, especially in our
indoctrination centers, imagine what that would do to
our diversity. /s
