White Guys Win Again. Was This College Catalog Cover a Loser?
Atlanta Journal Constitution Blog ^ | March 20, 2015 | Jessica Roy

Posted on 03/20/2015 6:25:07 PM PDT by nickcarraway

A reader sent me a copy of the cover of the new University of North Georgia continuing education catalog asked with this question, “Are they crazy?”

It’s a valid question given the awkwardness of the image and its pairing with a headline that asks, “Why follow when you can lead?”

The illustration features two exultant white men — dressed like missionaries for some reason — well ahead of a woman in heels wearing what looks to be an ensemble from “Dynasty” and a black male in more casual attire who appears to be struggling to finish the race.

I thought the cover was a parody, a sort of Mad Men meets Peachtree Road Race. It’s not, although there are some mad men and women commenting on the cover on Facebook.

The cover is getting some national attention. (See Raw Story.)

The illustration has inspired some social media lampooning.

Among my favorites:

-If you look a bit further back, you’ll see the starting line for the winners was 20 yards ahead of the official starting line for everyone else.

-I guess the person with the physical disability is just plain way back of that pack.

-The two guys in front are SAE members running for the bus.

I got a catalog from the local Community College in the mail the other day. Probably 20+ photos of 'students' in it. I'd guess now that maybe three or for were 'white' and they were all female. I don't recall seeing even one white male in the photos.

And this is a county that is 85+% white.

The black guy isn’t in the race he is being chased by the GBI.

Even though they’re only 12% of the population, they should win 100% of the time?? I DEMAND affirmative action for straight white guys!!

It’s racist to ever show a white guy beating a black guy.

Wait....by "beating" do you mean defeating, or beating?

White privilege is like a physical assault. It's what justifies the Knockout Game — so beating is beating.

Clearly, the tape was already cut by the homosexual in lane seven and the conjoined twins in lane eight.
