| Mr Khan said: I think there's a legitimate point upon racism that has to do with intent and with cultural norms. There's all the difference between someone like, say, Mr. Popo from Dragonball Z and what is actually anti-black racism in Japan. Hell, i saw a blackface ad on the train at one point, but in the same ad there was a ridiculous-looking kabuki actor that would pass for anti-Japanese racism in the States. We in America have become to shrill about the form of racism, even if we are progressive in dealing with its content |
For everday people? Maybe. For politicians, buisness owners and the like? They live in an international community and as suchthose types of people should keep in mind the multicultural international communities they work in.
Outside which, Black people in germany find that shit racist.
But Tahir Della a spokesman for the Initiative for Black Germans (ISD), which tries to represent the interests of the black community in Germany, called the billboard "unbelievably hurtful."
"This is 2011 and not 1950," he said. "I find it racist through and through."
