The big buzz online today was the tweet from Delta Airlines. Some people saw it, at best, as a horribly stupid and ill-informed mistake… and at worst, as an obliviously obtuse racist remark.
The furor was unleashed after some unknown PR person handling Delta Airlines’ Twitter account tried to show a little American pride during our awesome win over Ghana. And this is how they did it: by using the Statue of Liberty to represent America… and a giraffe to represent the African country of Ghana. Only problem: Ghana doesn’t have giraffes. It’d be like showing a polar bear to represent the Carolinas.
So was the tweet racist, or did Delta just not do their homework?
