The racist see-saw?

How do you feel about this poster advert that is purporting to inform people to vote in the EU election?

Not Trevor from Hollyoaks' first new job.

hhmmm I think it's good that they're encouraging people to vote because it's important but it does give the impression that Nazis vote Yes

White males are racist?

All I interpret from it is that the message is "an ethnic minority woman's vote is the same as a white males vote" - or am I missing something?

Is that a brexit poster?

The aggression of the white male?

Maybe they want angry ignorant bigots to vote, it's worked for trump :laugh:

all i see is a racist nasty white male who is for the exit shouting at a lovely innocent immigrant lady who wants to stay in the EU

or some such ridiculous bias thing


what if we had a aggressive immigrant man dressed in muslim garb shouting an pointing at a vicar?

The white man being a violent skinhead... it's horribly racist and offensive to all white British males.

Wanting out of the EU makes us all violent Britain First skinheads does it?

Yes he is a Polish Skin Head

no its to get Blacks to register to vote ad
London


BV
Black Vote

But the poster never states who is voting in and who is voting out? :conf: I get what you mean but you could argue it says more about us that we automatically assume the shouting white skinhead is voting out of the EU - why would it not be the woman?

what do you think 99.9% of people think when they see it?

I'm afraid I've been blinded by the bias so I can't actually see the picture. :think:

It does suggest a racial divide on the issue...and that the angry white man is against the immigrant on the issue... And I really don't know who is on which side so that's my outside perspective

As someone who does not really follow politics or know what's really going on, I honestly had no idea who was on each "side" of the argument just looking at the photo. I just thought it was showing that everyone's vote is equal and you don't have to vote based on how intimidated someone makes you feel for not voting their way :laugh: So I guess I'm that 0.01% :laugh:

"Operation Black Vote"

Its definitely a powerful message. Ethnic minorities are more likely to favour staying in the EU but they're also less likely to vote so its a good reminder that you can lose out if you don't participate in the democratic process.

what scare them with a fictitious stereotype situation?

I think it's great

stop sexualising it, he is straight

:fist:

If it had been a big black man shouting and wagging his finger at a little white granny there would have been hell on, and rightly so. The fact it's a white man wagging his finger and shouting at a little Asian granny is no less inflammatory, in my opinion.

Well its basically just a twist on 'if you don't vote you can't complain' really, think its quite clever myself

They could have done without a skinhead pointing aggressively at an elderly Asian lady, though. There are other ways to get the message across than offend with horrible stereotypes, incite hatred and create division.
