The Vector of Patriotism | Clarissa's Blog
There's also another related tendency which is to hand wring about how one may have said something by a photo one had taken that was not politically adept or authentic. That is truly bizarre. For instance, this medical student volunteers abroad and then for whatever reason has her photo taken with some local kids. She later comes back to the US and laments in an exceedingly grandiose style that her picture might have sent the wrong message and that she was truly up herself when she had had that original picture taken with some black kids.
I guess there are all sorts of ways to milk oneself for publicity, but some people want to benefit by looking at themselves from all angles.
Heres is a similar critique to the article I read originally.
