It is possible the teacher made an error but I doubt it.

So you think it was a deliberate racial provocation?
The teacher just up and decided to use stereotypes to badger this kid?

I think it's more likely that the teacher thought absolutely nothing about race and went ahead with what was seen as a funny picture.

You could argue that she "should have" seen it coming, but that means we have to have race on our minds all the time. Isn't that what we're trying to get away from?

Absolute agreement. Not everybody looks at the world through race-colored glasses. I don't want to live in a world where that happens.
