Imagine if...

Imagine for a minute that this picture was displayed to the general population of a major public university:

http://www.vt.edu/

Then imagine if that university had the following demographics:

ENROLLMENT BY RACE

	Undergraduate	Graduate	Professional	Total
American Indian or Alaska Native	37	4	0	41
Asian	2,026	142	9	2,177
Black or African American	827	171	8	1,006
Hispanics of any race	1,223	123	9	1,355
Native Hawaiian or other Pacific Islander	31	1	1	33
White	17,179	2,360	343	19,882
Two or more races	965	77	15	1,057
Not reported	699	31	60	790
Nonresident alien	989	1,738	3	2,730
Total	23,976	4,647	448	29,071

That's like  71% white. Next imagine that the white students noticed this, and protested this depiction and forced the school to apologize and change the initially displayed picture on their web site to be one that more correctly reflects their demographics. Unimaginable, right?

Imagine no more. Here's the picture that the grocery store ran:

Here's the staff of the Black Historical College calling them out and Giant's apology:

Unimaginable! (for the record, Howard is a Federally Chartered, Private school)

UPDATE (01/16/14): It seems Howard University staff has a thing about white women. As Michelle Malkin noted this morning, Russell Adams, chairman of Howard University's department of Afro-American studies, doesn't much care for white women either.
