Exactly.

Anyone who's travelled to foreign countries and I don't mean to the all inclusive hotels or resorts that some of these apologist twits think of as world travel they would have noticed that racism abounds in every country on the planet and most of them aren't populated by whites.

It works out well for the campaigners. By the backlash to this campaign they will be able to assure themselves that white people are indeed racist and no others. The whites involved in this will have the pleasure of self-flagellation, the people of color will breathe the heady fumes of sanctimony.

As a white man, I saw Racism all the time when I lived in Japan. Racism isn;t something only people know of or take part in.

You've got that one right Andy

As a means of trying to eliminate racism they fail miserably.

Campaign obviously a concoction of individuals who spend too much time in Ivory Towers and not enough living in the real world.

Stereotyping over 90% of the population of Duluth is not going to foster dialogue (can't believe they thought it would accomplish that), it will simply piss them off.

They also say they are looking to "diversify" Duluth. How do these billboards accomplish this?

Is "guilt-tripping" damn near the entire city going to draw in large numbers of African Americans, Asians, etc???

Minnesota has an ethnically diverse population...some folk are of Swedish ancestry, some of Danish, some icelandic and some are of Norwegian...don' chu' know. Sheesh.. you'd think the surnames ending in -ssen and -sson would have given that away.
