11. Everything he could save from his house? |

Who knows and who cares. The assumptions made about the people in both pictures is still egregious racism regardless of what is in the garbage bag.

I just forwarded your post to a repuke and she said "but the AFP is French, so take it up with them!"
Anyone have any other examples of this disparity? I have heard it but this combining of the captions is a great way to illustrate how racism works its way through.

... but that distinction is definitely racist. If you got it from the store, and you didn't pay for it, it's theft.
