Remove photo from that ad

While the intention of this ad might have been genuine, the message would have come across just as clear without the use of the photo. Trinidad is a multi-ethnic country and to single out a particular race raises some interesting topics for discussion.

Our national anthem says “every creed and race finds an equal place”, but yet still it is becoming more and more prevalent that the African community continues to be stereotyped.

I am hoping that the organisation does the right thing and removes the photo from the advertisement.
