Reply to comment by Jonherenow in New study shows newspaper images from Hurricane Harvey in 2017 continued patterns of presenting people of color as victims and white people as rescuers bringing order back to the chaos, this may not have been conscious or ill-intentioned decisions, but reflect patterns in journalism and cultural by giuliomagnifico

Or, Is there really a problem in the first place?

A raw picture is a fact if it has not been photoshopped or staged, what people use and do with that fact that can create volumes of truth and lies due to personal biases and agendas and simple misinterpretation.

Trained and certified FEMA responders come from across the country to places where they don't match the race of the target demographics.

I know at least 30 people who responded to Harvey and came from San Francisco and Seattle to help. All were white.

Thanks. A fact without its context can be a lie.
