1/ When we saw the whitewashed image of Obama, Jay Z & Beyoncé, we were disgusted & ashamed. It never should have been on wikiHow.https://twitter.com/beyupdates_/status/823268475087060992 …

4/ The sketcher sent the colorist a black and white sketch. The colorist did not know the race of the models.
5/ The colorist wasn’t aware it was Obama and Beyoncé. We don’t think the illustrator intentionally whitewashed here.

6/ This doesn’t excuse the fact that we hosted a terrible image on wikiHow and we needed more diversity on that article period.
-
7/ We’re talking with our illustrators to prevent recurrence and encourage diversity. Especially in positions of power.

shutup. YOU KNEW.
-
artist knew!
-
of course the artists knew, they copied the original pic of Obama & Bey

The illustrator knew, but the colorist didn't.

Curious that the colorist managed to guess the colours of the dress, suits and ties so accurately

doesn't think the pic was intentionally whitewashed, but Obama's hair was changed from a caesar to one commonly wore by white men

2/ "I don't know the race let's just go with white"...it's an automatic thing and that's the problem...

But do you see how that's still a problem? Maybe he didn't know, but he just assumed a congressman should be white.

So your position is that the colorist coincidentally made the suits, ties, and dress the same colors as in the photograph?

JAY Z IS ALSO IN THE PICTURE

Sketcher obviously whitewashed. Colorist just went with what was pencilled. Obama's hair is my evidence. *shrug*

hmm maybe the colorist isn't at fault but the illustrator definitely didn't draw Obama's hair as it appears...today or ever
