I once saw an atheist post where there was a white woman in shorts surround by women wearing full body veils. It said something like "Glad to be athiest." Would you count that as oriemtalism? (hexbear.net)

The white woman was wearing a backpack(looking like a tourist). She was wearing fluorescent, neon colored clothing while everything and everyone around her was colored black and white.

I guess it is ignorant of their culture and a projection of her own perceived cultural superiority, but I can picture the image in my head and it just seems really "I'm 14 and this is deep" kind of picture, like it would have a caption like "Don't be afraid to stand out" or something.
