On Tuesday afternoon, in response to backlash comparing original photograph to the altered skin and hair colors in the cartoon image, wikiHow addressed its 69.3K Twitter followers in a series of tweets explaining the situation.
wikiHow wrote it was “disgusted and ashamed” by the image and admitted it never should have made it to the site in the first place.

"Within minutes of the first tweet, a volunteer removed the image. We then started investigating how it got on wikiHow at all," the account explained.
wikiHow then went on to describe that the image was made three years ago by a team of illustrators who work as one. "One person sketches, the other person colours," and there was a lack of communication between the two.

"The colourist wasn't aware it was Obama and Beyoncé," the account shared, adding the whitewashing is not believed to have been intentional. "This doesn't excuse the fact that we hosted a terrible image on wikiHow and we needed more diversity on that article period."
The thread concluded with a vow to discuss the matter and encourage diversity among illustrators to prevent situations like this the from occurring again in the future.
