Surprised this hasn't been posted, as apparently it's kicking up quite a fuss on Twitter etc...

...I personally doubt she meant anything by it, but it is almost satirically misjudged
.
Although part of me is thinking that people have it totally backwards? It is a GOOD thing that she didn't think anything of it when she made it? It shows the sort of "colour-blindness" that should presumably be the "end game" of tackling racism. I don't think she really stopped for a moment and thought about the connotations. She wasn't thinking "this is a photoshopped picture of me riding around on a black man", simply "this is me riding around on a
fast man". And that SHOULD be the defining characteristic of an individual... the things about them that make THEM an individual.
