This New GapKids Campaign Photo Is Sparking a Major Racial Controversy
GapKids x Ellen DeGeneres Ad Called Racially Insensitive | POPSUGAR Moms
Thoughts?
I have an easy fix.
Redo the shot but with a taller black girl model that knows how to smile.
The kid they used looks really tired and grumpy.
ANYONE...I mean ANYONE can go through ANY catalog and find SOMETHING to be offended about if given enough time and are bored enough.
I would have never approved that shot for publication simply because the little black girl did not look like she was having fun. I would have also dressed her just like the other kids in the shot.
You are right that girl seems like she is having none of it, just wants it to be over.
Getting upset at that photo shows that some folks just aren't content if they aren't pissed off about something racial - and nothing else.
The campaign is built around the values of empowering young girls and proving that they can achieve anything, but Twitter users argue that the advertisement only shows that for a young black girl, that means being used as a white person's "armrest."
Thoughts?
Liberals found something to whine about...

I zeroed in on it, but ONLY because the title had already clued me in that I was supposed to be offended by something. If I had seen the ad on my own I doubt that I would have given that pose a second thought.Interesting. If someone told me to find the problem in the picture I would have never found it.
That's exactly it. It's a common pose for kids of varying height, and some people are simply looking for something to be offended over to further their agenda.All these dolts complaining... it is actually fairly common for a taller person to do that to a smaller person AS A JOKE. There is nothing racial about the picture unless you are someone who looks for racism, everywhere.
Racists see color. What else is new?
I don't think anything needs to be redone. If anything, it needs to be defended and brushed aside as a ridiculous complaint. Redoing it would only encourage this type of absurd complaint in the future.I have an easy fix.

I'm surprised they didn't make sure to include an Asian.If some see RACE in that ad, they're race obsessed.
If some objects to BLM holding rallys where masses of people cheer at the incitement to kill large number of innocent whites or Cops.... That's what??
Okay?
THINK!
Its a matter of scale and virulence of the RACISM!
Its one think to playfully put your arm on another head, its completely another thing to advocating murder of cops and racial genocide!
Hey Lefties, get some freak'en perspective!
