  I noticed this as well, but AP (Associated Press) is not the same as AFP (Agence France-Presse), the agency that is responsible for the photo of the white folks. It's possible that the two agencies have different policies regarding what is written for captions in these situations.

    Looters hit a drug store in the French Quarter district of New Orleans in New Orleans, Louisiana, following Hurricane Katrina. Fresh floods, fires and looting rode in the destructive wake of Hurricane Katrina, deepening a humanitarian crisis that left hundreds feared dead and sections of New Orleans submerged to the rooftops.(AFP/James Nielsen)
    Meanwhile at AP... Note the race of the guy just "looking through their shopping bag".

      when I click on the link it takes me to a different picture.
      That picture would be a ringing indictment, if it actually possesses that caption.
