I wish I could say I was making this up
But in places like Texas, things like this just happen.
My favorite line is the excuse for what happened: "...the caption apparently was intended as a placeholder until the yearbook staff could identify the student." It's so hard to identify those black folks, you know, what with their all looking alike.

I live in Texas. I agree that it was a terrible mistake and a poor choice of words to use for a place holder.
I wish, however, that the response by the young woman had been to take the high road, applaud the outrage that has been universally expressed by the school administration and public at large here, and urge everyone to continue to work to reduce racism.
Instead, it looks as though her family has decided they have hit the judical lottery and will soon be bathing in riches due them because of the "damage" they suffered.
Here is a story on the school district response:

I feel bad for the student editor though. We're talking about a 16 or 17 year old...
