Student in yearbook identified only as 'Black Girl'
"WAXAHACHIE, Texas - A Texas school district has apologized to a student identified only as "Black Girl" in a high school yearbook photo.

All the White students are identified by name in a photograph of the Waxahachie High School National Honor Society. The teen identified as "Black Girl" is the only Black student in the photo.

A schools spokeswoman says the caption apparently was intended as a placeholder until the yearbook staff could identify the student. She tells a newspaper, the Waxahachie Daily Light, the label was a poor choice, but wasn't malicious. "


Very tasteful...

Only in Texas, and George Bush happens to come from there too roll That is just sick innit, when the best they can come up with, is identify the student as "black girl", would they have said the same about a white redneck folk?

If you turn down the radio. open your door and listen carefully, you can probably hear me slapping my forehead wherever you are.

And who could blame you? Words fail me....... :roll:

Uh-uh, Chimpy's from Connecticut. He's blue-blood, yo.

/Don't let those pictures of him in a cowboy hat driving around in a truck fool you.
//By those standards I'm as much from Texas as him.
