How is African art racist? The cake is very much in the style of a lot of african carvings.

I sense "political correctness gone mad" will appear in this thread shortly...

Himself.

So if I'm Jewish, and I do a piece based on the Nazi propaganda posters from WW2, does my very Jewishness render the whole thing not racist at all?

No, it does not.

Wait, the head is actually the artist's head painted? Sticking through the table?

Well, I found the yellow bit round her neck offensive. Like it's mocking the yellowy hue of my People and suggesting we are beneath African Swedes.

And as for these emoticons:

and particularly this one which reminds me of my Uncle Pau who lives in Hawaii: cool

Well, PH is clearly a Den of racialists. IT MAKES ME SICK!

Won't somebody please think of the children!


The only racist part, is the BBC article, instantly drawing the conclusion that the sole purpose of any visual representation of traditional African culture, is to incite racial discrimination. . . . which is of course nonsense

Were it a cake made to look like a fat, middle aged, white, middle class male, to draw attention to a campaign against golfing accidents, there wouldn't be any outcry.

There's some strange old nipples on that cake. Long enough throw over her shoulder. Either that or they're arms, but I prefer to think of them as nipples - big cakey nipples.
