An art school in France was caught altering an image of students — manipulating some of their faces to make the group appear more diverse — ahead of a branch opening in Los Angeles.
A side-by-side comparison of the two images circulating on social media clearly shows the “blackwashing” of students from the Emile Cohl art school in Lyon. The facial features of at least four students were darkened and the faces of two black students were added into the throng of youngsters.

Emmanuel Perrier, the school’s assistant director, said an outside firm hired to increase the school’s profile in the United States — ahead of a branch opening in LA within four years — was to blame.
“The communication company decided on its own to darken the skin of some students to add diversity,” Perrier told CNN. “The communication campaign was made from the US.”

Artistic license, I suppose.
Stalin would be so proud.

Whites are being Erased and Replaced.
Notice that the second photo also has more ‘affection’ on display.
Staged, not altered.
The ink is black, the page is white, together we learn, to read and write...
The worst part is that it's being done by whites!
Every ad, every story, every textbook, magazine feature, movie, TV show, has this kind of low grade manipulation going on 7/24/365.
This is how to make brains squeaky clean.
Yes -— very noticeable.
Liars lie...that is what they do. No surprises there.
