---SNIP--- The lead story on the diversity of education in city schools features a photo that has no African American students, even though their school is 60 percent non-white.
Tom McGrath, the magazine's editor, took responsibility for the photo, which shows seven students from Albert M. Greenfield Elementary School sitting along a brick wall outside its Center City campus.
"We blew it," McGrath wrote. "To include not even one African American child on the cover fails to reflect not just the diversity that exists at the Greenfield School, but also that within the city of Philadelphia."

This is a magazine for white urban liberals but the racial bean counters don't want to hear that.

Thats also why in Oakland, Calif they shot that Mexican mural artist:
Art in a Black Neighborhood must 100% be painted by artists who are black.
Killed him.

This is pure Advertising 101 here.
Television shows always features a befuddled and very confused white guy at every turn.
That is...until a wise latina woman or elderly black man arrives to impart wisdom he would otherwise never know.

What does Obama say about that?
Who is he going to invite to the White House?

>>”We blew it,” McGrath wrote.
When you are a liberal idiot, the only honorable thing to do when you forget political correctness is ritual suicide. Diversity is just too darned important for liberals to be forgetting it.

Television shows always feature a befuddled and very confused white guy at every turn. Which is the main reason why they never feature me as a viewer.

From the title on the magaizne cover, it looks like they were trying to reassure those City Parents.

Oh. My. Goodness.
One cannot have their cherubic progeny hanging with that bunch of little miscreants!
Hopefully people will recover from this tragic, tragic, tragic situation.
