This poster from UMB might as well just have read, "Stay at Home When Asian"...You know, better yet, just stay in Asia during flu season. Then you got the black guy coughing everywhere. And the good white person is washing their hands, because Cleanliness is next to Godliness. This reminds me of Highlight magazine's Goofus and Gallant cartoons but racist. And I would give the creator the benefit of the doubt, maybe the white person had the best looking J.P. Prewitt-hands, and the black guy was the best actor, and the Asian chick was the best looking one of the three...but that's like the perfect storm of beneficial doubt. So I'm blowing the horn on this one.
