Woman calls out Auburn (Maine) school official Chris Langlis for 'racist' post

http://www.sunjournal.com/news/lewiston-auburn/2015/07/09/texas-woman-calls-out-auburn-school-official-racist-post/1741609#comments

AUBURN — A Texas woman has asserted that School Committee member Christopher Langis posted a racially charged comment on Facebook, and she was so bothered by the post that she contacted Auburn City Councilor Adam Lee and the Sun Journal.

On Tuesday, Rae Washington, an African-American graduate student in Texas, posted a comment on Macy's Facebook page responding to a promotional giveaway for a makeup bag.

“Ohh that bag is too cute! Looks like I have some shopping to do!” Washington posted under her FB name, Cho Large, with a profile photo that clearly shows her ethnicity.

In response, Langis posted: “They don't take food stamps.”
