Sometimes, a photo doesn’t need to be dissected – it just needs to be enjoyed.

Actor Jack Pattillo was in Disneyland with a few of his mates, and he tweeted a picture of him and his friends eating frozen yogurt.

Everybody loves a bit of froyo.

He tagged his friends in the post, and captioned it ‘Doing Disneyland right’.

And though it should have been a simple, innocent photo about enjoying a healthy ice-cream alternative with friends, someone had to ruin it.

Twitter user Tristin Lazarus accused the picture of being ‘too white’.

Sigh.

So Pattillo's friends jumped in to clarify...

Responses from other Twitter users were swift

One user pointed out at that 'people of colour' is an all-encompassing term that relates to a multitude of racial identities...

The chances of Lazarus being a troll account are also being considered...

Who knows?
