AI Image Sparks Racial Backlash | Dallas News
Description
A Texas GOP candidate sparked outrage after posting an AI-generated image of WNBA players styled like “Washington Crossing the Delaware,” with only Black players wearing floaties — a racially coded jab implying they can’t swim without help. The post, captioned “IYKYK,” went viral for the wrong reasons, igniting backlash and accusations of racism. Bean deleted the post without comment, while the Tarrant County GOP stayed silent. The Democratic chair called it “lazy and disrespectful,” highlighting lingering racial bias. Bean now faces Democrat Katie O’Brien Duzan in a heated election race.
