[/quote] Gotta step in here for a moment. Here in the Netherlands we see that in the big cities which are much more diverse than some of the smaller cities and villages, there are hardly any racists. The racists in our country are (maybe surprisingly) exactly there where there are hardly any foreigners. [/quote] I am certain you misread the point I was trying to make. "Africa for the Africans, Asia for the Asians, Europe for everybody!" essentially was what I was commenting on. [/quote] Well, that's true. That is not what I took from your comment. I misunderstood that. My apologies. I actually agreed with what I thought you meant and tried to substantiate that because that specific sentence I quoted is true. My point remains valid nonetheless. Education on multiculturalism or racism is unnecessary in more diverse societies as they are much more adjusted to the situation, much more tolerant towards each other. Racism is usually found exactly there where foreigners are the minority. So these types of billboards (even though I don't agree with the approach) would be more appropriate especially there where foreigners are the minority and not being accepted. [/quote] Makes sense, yes. [quote:Psych:MV8xNzY4MjU1XzI5MzQ3MjgwX0E0OTYzMzRB] Overall, I don't think there is anything wrong with confronting ignorant people. And to comment on your last comment. You would be able to move anywhere you like on this planet if you wanted to, except for Africa at this point, simply because it is highly unstable. Asia is not for Asians only, neither does this apply to America (north and south), the Middle East, or any other place. Emigrants choose Europe for geographical and economic reasons. [/quote] Of course but they are not pressured to embrace multicultural ideals which is the point the quote is trying to make. [/quote]

Looking at it from their perspective even, it is counter-productive.
How are you going to combat racism if you signal out one group as being ignorant, privileged and/or the inherent oppressors?
It will only add fuel to the fire and enforce racism as it will cause white people who feel attacked by this to adopt a more aggressive attitude towards blacks in reaction to it.
