An Austin woman’s seemingly racist sign at protests in Houston for and against George Zimmerman’s not-guilty verdict in Florida has gotten some international attention.

A photo of Renee Vaughan holding a sign saying “We’re racist & proud!” has been featured in the Houston Chronicle, the New York Daily News and England’s Daily Mail.

Although the Houston Chronicle says that Vaughan was mocking a group of Zimmerman supporters, the Daily News and Daily Mail claimed she was part of the group.

“'We're racist and proud': Fury as group stages counter-demonstration against 'Justice for Trayvon' marches,” was the headline on the Daily Mail story.
