"Folks are getting really comfortable with their blatant racism and sexism. A friend of mine emailed me a story about how Swedish Minister of Culture Lena Adelsohn Liljeroth, a self-proclaimed "anti-racist," was photographed eating a cake made in the image of an African woman in minstrel makeup."

The video is disturbing... some may call it "performance art" when the cake "screams" when you cut it. I call it racist bullshit.

That this is Sweden and not the US is a little surprising but opens my eyes to how blatant racism and sexism is everywhere.
