Reply to comment by Jonherenow in New study shows newspaper images from Hurricane Harvey in 2017 continued patterns of presenting people of color as victims and white people as rescuers bringing order back to the chaos, this may not have been conscious or ill-intentioned decisions, but reflect patterns in journalism and cultural by giuliomagnifico

I remember after Katrina there were images in the same article that described black people as looting and white people as gathering supplies.

I remember that photo. The white people had food and perishables the black guy had a plasma TV. It’s important to think about social justice but sometimes the actions don’t support your values.

Be excellent to one another is a ongoing fight to be a good person.

If the demographic was flipped everyone would have forgotten that photo. It’s only controversial because it feeds the “look racism” button

I feel like I should like that show more than I do. They just are horrible people.

I just know they are good irl…Danny Devito is polar opposite from his character on the show…also I thinks it’s the funniest show ever so maybe I like the darker humor haha
