Why do this?

It’s fairly common for Seniors to celebrate their photo day with t-shirts that, when they assemble for a group photo, spell out a word or phrase. It could be the name of the school, their social group, or so on. But as AZ Central reports, this one was different:

A photo shows six smiling girls standing with their arms around each other, wearing black shirts with letters written on them in gold tape that, even with asterisks in the middle, unmistakably spell out the n-word.

The photo has a small circle in the corner, indicating it was originally posted to Snapchat, where photos disappear after 24 hours.

The image began appearing across Facebook shortly after:

teach their children well. Don't ignore it , not talk about it, hope it ages out with the next generation. Teach your children . Racists are teaching theirs
and in this photo you can see that not all racist are old not all racists are men.
