I agree it was a harmless placeholder. But being from Texas the atmosphere might be more racially sensitive than normal locations.

Sounds like everyone is moving on either way....hopefully she will take if for a harmless thing and move on too.

Regardless of if it's offensive or not, it's still stupid that it got put into the yearbook at all. I know I wouldnt be happy if my yearbook said "Random guy" under my name

The fact that she was identified by her race is just like a little extra jab...

I understand that point but I mean,should this have made it to the media? Are they that lacking of news there? Then gets filtered onto the internet! I think I might have a laugh at it and use it to my advantage. If you did it right, you could get some good attention out of it. Then have them print a new one with your name in it.

Yea I think it is another ploy to get a lot of attention. Jesse Jackson will be involved next demanding an apology even though one has all ready been given.

i just thought it might spawn a lawsuit b/c people are sue happy these days. i'm sure it could be seen as being offensive. i don't know b/c i've never had to deal w/ such a situation.
i don't think there should be a law suit, but i was meaning that it wouldn't surprise me if there was one.
btw, it is highly doubtful (though yes somewhat possible) that they'd make her a new yearbook. my sister works on yearbook and i asked her how easy it is to get new ones printed w/ little changes made. she says nearly impossible. at her high school, there was an article that a parent threated to sue over (about the effects of parents 2nd hand smoke on kids/students) and they couldn't get new books printed so they had to rip that one article out of every book. i almost felt bad for the yearbook staff except that that was a stupid article and my sister wasn't involved in writing it so i had a laugh instead.

I'm sure a black person's opinion would be a tad bit different when it comes to this story...

It seems obvious. A combination of the fact they didn't fix it, that they refer to her as black person. I mean jesus it seems pretty damn easy to understand. This was posted on another forum mostly black and every single one of them had a problem with it. I assume they would have a more indepth opinion considering they are actually black....
