Art school doctored ad to make white students look black

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.”

The art aficionados in the image are fifth-year students “doing a six-month internship at the moment,” Perrier said.

It was when it wasn’t for diversity’s sake.

A DoD research organization that I work for made a recruiting video that advertised some of the most exciting work we did (including some by yours truly); only problem— all of those who actually did the work and led the projects were white males. So, they got diverse employees to stand in as though it were their work for the video (e.g. employee/actors) and go to recruiting events pretending this was their work. I was absolutely outraged by this— it takes credit from those who did the work, it fraudulently bestows credit upon those who had no part in it, and mostly it adds to the myth that diverse candidates are leading the way into the future.

Gives new meaning to the expression "black as Cohl."

And what about the two guys in the blue shirts in the center of the photo, who they altered to have them embracing? Must show homosexual diversity too, I guess.

Or black as kohl....

Kohl is an ancient eye cosmetic, traditionally made by grinding stibnite for similar purposes to charcoal used in mascara. It is widely used in the Middle East, North Africa, the Mediterranean, South Asia, and the Horn of Africa as eyeliner to contour and/or darken the eyelids and as mascara for the eyelashes. It is worn mostly by women, but also by some men and childre

Notice that the second photo also has more ‘affection’ on display.

Tip of the iceberg, IMHO.

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.
