The Red Cross is #Racist....

[UCFWayne]

How dare they....

 

[UCFKnight85]

So just so we're clear, if they had just changed one "cool" to a black kid, everything would have been fine?

 

[UCFWayne]

The poster was originally part of the Red Cross' 2014 "Aquatics Centennial Campaign."

So this isnt even new. It was released a few years ago, and only now are people complaining about it.

So what about the "not cool" white kid with the drink in his hand? Is he just light Hispanic or something? Can't tell if he's Asian because of the fukcing sunglasses but he certainly don't look white.

Hispanic for sure. No habla espanol and can't read the freaking signs that say, "no glass".

He's more yellow. I think he's Asian. Why can't you have beer by a pool?

Because it's a micro aggression towards soda.

And what is the "not cool" kid in the middle doing wrong? It looks like he's breast stroking.

 

[jetsaholic]

Also, there's a "Not Cool" white kid running at the top. Is the black kid just "more not cool"?

He's screaming and/or fake drowning.

That's a Mexican.

You can, but in a red solo cup, not glass. Geesh, do we have to put everything on the poster?

That's a micro aggression towards blue Walmart cups.

 

[Bob the Citronaut]

It could be plastic. I used to get the 16 ounce Miller Lite plastic bottles for tailgating.

But does it identify as glass?

[jetsaholic]

We're all assuming the black kids on that poster identify as black to begin with so we're all bigot racist assholes.

 

[SublimeKnight]

This poster perpetuates the stereotype that flying whales are stick-in-the-mud, goody two-shoe, rule-following nerds. Its disgusting and disgraceful.

 

[cnsaguy]

The white kid chasing the black kid insinuates the police chasing him. Not cool.
Black girl pushing the white girl in the pool insinuates thuggery. Not cool.
A black lifeguard? Breaking down barriers. Cool.

 

[SublimeKnight]

A black lifeguard? Breaking down barriers. Cool.

I think it's pretty clear she's being paid 20%-30% less than the white male lifeguard.

 

[Bob the Citronaut]

A black lifeguard? Breaking down barriers. Cool.

It looks like she's lazy to me. That one not cool kid is drowning and she's just sitting there pointing at him. Stereotype.

I originally thought the boy swimming was the racism part because he wasn't doing anything wrong. I see a few whites kids being "not cool", so I still don't get it. I think she was focusing on this stupid poster too long.
