Emily, I don’t quite remember what Alex told us about this, but I think it was in a subway station in England. It was part of a public service campaign.

The thing I wonder about it, though, is do you think that it had a lot of backlash? Do you think everyone realized the implications it had with the term “normal”? Or do you think that people saw it as having a nice message?

I guess the viewer is supposed to assume that the white child is the “normal” one, which would mean that “normal” necessarily means white. When is this from?
