A Picture Speaks Louder – Well, It Speaks Loud, Anyway

without comments

First, take a look at this picture.What do you see?You’re wrong. Der Spiegel has the non-obvious – or perhaps all-too-obvious – story behind the picture. This should also teach us a lesson about prejudices.(Hat tip to Foreign Policy blog)And while we’re at it, take a look at these articles (1, 2) published in Slate last year.Update: I haven’t searched the blogosphere for comments about the picture but you may want to read this by Lisa Goldman (yep, I’ve posted a comment there). Photo District News has two articles (1, 2) about the picture.
