Fields may be inclusive for stock photos, but not real people
The New York Press reports this photo was manufactured by the Virginia Fields campaign:
ADOBE SPECIALISTS FOR FIELDS!
Normally, when politicians want to demonstrate support from an ethnic group, they whip up some buttons and distribute them to supporters from that demographic. Bloomberg takes the button-cake again this year, with a myriad of political buttons like "Haitians for Bloomberg" and "Jews for Bloomberg" in Hebrew.
But C. Virginia Fields is trying a different tack: Photoshopping the desired minority community directly into her literature. Look closely at the two Asians in the bottom left of this image, supposedly listening intently to one of Fields' multi-culti corner pep talks. Can you say "floating heads"? The Fields campaign may need to work on its outreach in Chinatown, but more urgently it needs a new graphic designer.
And is that Bertha Lewis looking to give Virginia a wet one?

From what I have been reading about this lady I would not vote for her as our local back alley dog catcher.
