  • when the Guardian ran the pic, Flack was cropped out of it completely.

    To me that makes it worse. Sure, they cropped it to make it look neater and not have her face chopped in half, but it's not great. The slightly different photo posted here shows there are versions with more than half her face in.

    Why are we talking about this, the article's from 2015!

  • The pic I linked to wasn't in the Guardian in 2015, it was in the Guardian yesterday, and @nick_h. yesterday Roberta Flack wasn't edited out of it. She just wasn't mentioned. If not bothering to mention the one black person in the image isn't casual racism, what is?

  • Then write a complaint. The once or twice I have written to correct / query something in a Guardian article, I have always received a very polite response. They are not monsters. Just busy people doing a difficult job with limited time and resources.

    Or. I'm wrong and it is an an extension of the KKK and they have kept it well hidden for over 100 years.

    You won't know until you ask.
