    I think the "not cool" arrows are disproportionately pointing towards brown skinned people.

    Red Cross apologizes for ‘racist’ pool safety poster


    FORT MORGAN, Colo. — The Red Cross has apologized for a pool safety poster that some parents consider racist.

    The poster was put up at two swimming pools in Colorado.

    Titled “Be Cool, Follow The Rules,” it showed most white kids playing properly, and most black kids misbehaving — doing things like diving, and pushing other kids into the pool.

    When some parents started tweeting about it, the Red Cross said it’s removing the posters and creating new ones.

    I bet the illustrator knew what they were doing but decided to keep it that way just because they thought no one would pick up on it.

    Like Disney animators and their subtle penis pictures in the kid's movies.
