Interracial poster by S. African youth group stirs debate

An interracial poster distributed on college campuses by the student wing of South Africa's Democratic Alliance has (intentionally) caused an uproar by raising sensitive issues of politics, race and sex in the country's post-apartheid society, The Globe and Mail reports.

The newspaper says the South African media was dominated by heated debate among politicians and commentators within days of the poster's appearance.
