Chinese Woman Approaches Caucasian Women in Front of U.S. Flag Mural in Chinatown, San Francisco, California Photo: Chinese Woman Approaches Caucasian Women in Front of U.S. Flag Mural in Chinatown, San Francisco, California

This scene reminded me of how far society (in California at least) has come when it comes to race relations. I won’t elaborate, but it was pretty bad even when I was growing up in the 80’s and 90’s.

In the next frame, (not shown here) the other lady reached out to take the flier from the Chinese woman but it wasn’t visible in the frame from this position unfortunately. I think that would have been a dream picture of mine to have gotten that.

    Thanks Ron. I risked getting run over by a car to get the shot. :-)

    I really like this shot too. I bet it will get published.

    Thanks Sherri. Having this published would be nice, but I’m not sure where would be appropriate. Perhaps Time or Newsweek. In the mean time, I’ll keep dreaming. :-)
