Swimming pools across America have outdoor sex videolong been a hotbed of racism—from poolside segregation in the 1900s to a brutal police encounter at a McKinney, Texas, teen pool party in 2015.
Unfortunately that racism has the capacity to extend into 2016 in unexpected ways. The Red Cross recently apologized for their production of a pool safety poster after a Twitter user called attention to it's hidden racial biases.

What made the controversial and problematic to some is that the poster depicts almost every child doing something "not cool" as black, while the others who are "cool" are not. To break it down in another way, four out of the seven of the black children are depicted as breaking the rules, while only two of the 10 non-black children are seen breaking the rules. The only depictions of "cool" behavior are from white children.
Some people did not understand the implications of the poster, while other Twitter users openly expressed their frustrations.
