I'm Sorry?

I'm sure I'm going to offend some people with the post but I seriously need to vent.

I am in charge of sending out emails for my work to our clients. I sent out an email the other day that had a picture included. It was a white family with grandparents, parents and children. I sent this picture out to show that my workplace is very family and friend oriented and did not even pay attention to their race. I received a phone call today that someone took offense to the picture because it wasn't diverse enough. Is that what society has come to, that I need to make sure each picture has someone from every race photographed in it before I send it out? How is it that a picture of a family laughing is offensive to people? Why do I have to walk (or type) on eggshells to make sure that I don't offend someone? I can't even tell a story without looking over my shoulder to make sure no one is close enough so that I may not offend them. If I sent out a picture of an entire African American family, would people feel the same way and be as upset? Am I even allowed to say African American or am I going to receive some hate mail now? I though we were supposed to be moving forward in society and it almost seems as if we're going backwards. We've gone from one extreme of excluding different races to the other extreme of making sure each race feels included. Are we ever really going to live as equals? Not if we treat each other like this.

With love and pearls (I'm sorry is that offensive too)
