In my experience, people who make everything about race are the biggest racists.http://www.syracuse.com/news/index.ssf/2012/06/middle_school_yearbook.html

In my experience, concluding that a person is anything, including a racist, based upon a single newspaper article, is a very iffy proposition.In my experience, people who make everything about race are the biggest racists.

Those poor Drummond children going to one of the best schools in NY state. At least they were part of the exciting part of the picture. The poor white kids just make up the background. ****, 30 years ago, an FM yearbook done this way would have been JUST the boring white background.

You people are nuts. Of course this offensive. It isn't that big of a deal, but if you can't tell this is inappropriate at a glance, then you really need to take a look in the mirror.
(This is more an accusation of cluelessness vs. one of racism.)
I'm guessing that you are of a comparable age to me. If you grew up in a certain time, you may be more sensitive to the idea of segregation. I remember (vaguely) when Elston Howard was paraded across the stage at the Ed Sullivan Show, as the Yankees finally brought a black player to the majors, more than 10 years after Jackie Robinson broke in. And it was another decade plus before Kentucky finally signed a black basketball player.You people are nuts. Of course this offensive. It isn't that big of a deal, but if you can't tell this is inappropriate at a glance, then you really need to take a look in the mirror.

That was kind of tacky by Jostens. Someone at the company should have notice and not let it get out. I can see why Drummond as an African American would be upset.
I hope the first part of your sentence is right. I know the second part is.Clearly is was not meant to be racist but on the other hand, to segregate the kids based on their skin color was dumb.
Recognizing different skin colors among students is not racist. Of the following, what is more inappropriate?
1. The way they did it with more pigmented kids in the hornet
2. Making pigmented kids ashen-white in order to put them in the lighter background section
3. Making white kids appear dark-skinned in order to put them in the hornet
Yeah. They should segregate the yearbook too. They should group all the whites together in the front pages and the blacks grouped after that. Or, instead of tall people in the back, put blacks in the back of the group pictures.It should be OK to segregate by skin color for a picture just as it is OK to put the tall people in the back row. I hope someday it will be. I'm saddened that it still makes some people (like Drummond) angry.
