• The caption says she is a woman wearing a face mask in London but all you can see is her race - how do you know she's not British?

    Racist.

  • Presuming joke because British Asian is a thing and not something I was denying. Choosing a British Asian to be the face to represent the story is the racism.

    If there were an Ebola outbreak in the UK and the media only chose black British faces to represent it, that would be racist. Pointing that out would not be saying British = white.

  • The boring Hanlon's razor explanation is probably just that lazy journalists typed "person with facemask" into free-stock-images.net and 99% of the results were (pre-coronavirus) East Asian people
