No, they don't. The pool in the picture is about 50/50 white/minority.
Of the minority, there are 4 doing the "not cool" things.
Of the white, there are 2 doing the "not cool" things."
There is also a minority authority figure and a minority parent. Are we so into quotas that having ONE extra miscreant per the 50/50 population of the poster is racist?
-
The children of color are pushing, running, and carrying beverages—and are labeled “not cool.”
I see a white kid running and the one carrying the beverage appears to be white to me also.
Other than that and the pushing I don't really see anything else that is being "not cool."
-
This could all have been avoided if they'd simply have used stick figures ...... [tinfoil]

If the white girl had pushed the black one, they would have screamed about that too. There was no way they could win this one; some people see racism everywhere. (it all looks pretty balanced to me)
Maybe if everyone was purple that would work...

Ever think that the artist was "color blind" and didn't give the "race balance" a thought and there was no racial bias implied actively or passively? That's how "normal" people would and, IMHO, should go about it.

Where is the Asian? Where is the unsighted, the less than 4 limbed? Where is the Amish, the Mooslum, and cthulu worshipers? What about the hearing impaired and the person doing sign language for them? Raaaaaaacisssssst.

The girl getting pushed is the Asian.
Which, of course, creates even more racism.

Where is the fat kid or the one confined to a wheelchair?

They weren't allowed inside the pool fence.
DISCRIMINATION!

I'm just confused about what the kid on the right is doing wrong, or what he is even doing. lol

He's peeing in the pool.

Either shouting, or that oddly placed hand is from the kid he's trying to drown.

Where's the gay confused transgendered kid?

Sent from my iPhone. Freaking autocorrect.

That's the kid peeing in the pool, couldn't figure out which bathroom to use.

no, they don't have a point. Calling this 'racist' is agenda driven, and sophomoric. We have become a Nation of aggrieved and slighted hyper sensitive morons.
-
All I see is a bunch of kids, some that live at the pool and have developed a tan as protection from the sun's rays and the others who only get out of front of the TV on the rare occasion the mom tells them to get outside. ;)

I saw this on some website the other day, and what caught my eye was that they were calling it not just "racist," but "super-racist." :facepalm:

In my lifetime they have graduated from Prejudiced to Racist. Now they have to come up with a new word as everyone is getting numb to being called racist.

On second thought, I guess there is a perverted logic to replacing racist with super-racist. Since living while white is now racist (see "white privilege") then if you accuse a white person of actually acting on her* inherent racism, you would have to use a stronger term.
*Because if I said "his racism" that would be sexist.

Holy hell. Police are called an average of five times per day, and apparently predominately for this kind of nonsense. I think when I was in elementary school, police showed up once per year, and that was to give a talk in the auditorium.

When I was in grade school, the principal had a paddle in the office. Now, the staff can't do that sort of thing, so 10-year-old Johnny gets hand-cuffed by 5-oh. Progress?

saw that article earlier this morning, and was wondering why the good Citizens have not stormed the school board meeting, and demanded the heads of the morons that they have allowed to run their schools into the ground.

While it is BS for the police to be called out for something like this, there is so much lacking from the story.

But how many stick figures would be drawn with black ink and how many would be drawn with white ink?

They've always been racist. Why do you think their lowest ranks are called Brownies? Why do you think they put fewer Samoas in a box than they do their white shortbread cookies? And when was the last time you offered money for something sweet from a bunch of white girls standing on the street corner and got arrested by an undercover cop?
