“No One Is Born Racist”

Nomegla and Tara are a well recognized meme. Sean Bonner took a photo of his family on the Paris Metro. Someone grabbed the phot from Flickr and added the text, “No one is born racist.” More than a decade later the meme has been circulated globally (even translated!) with millions and millions of views. Tara gave a talk analyzing the comments on the posts that ranged from kind to downright awful. A few years ago she found the stranger in the photo and were reunited in Paris. She still needs to write about that experience.
