"Bang goes the Swedish reputation for tolerant Liberalism!"

No...no it doesn't.

It would take FAR more than this.

[emmie]

what racist savage? The artist is a black man, and was making a point, albeit a stretched one, not really see what you are referring to.

[emmie]

can you please explain which savage, i don't understand.

There was no mention of what kind of cake it is!

Not sure cake is the best way to make a point about female circumcision?

[Brenden]

She savaged the cake my cutting it em. lol

[anotheoldgit]

The artist who designed the cake is himself black, does that mean he is racist for creating a black image?

/// "I've been doing this by revamping black faces into different contexts so when the Swedish Art Organisation asked me to design a cake for them it felt totally natural." ///

[andy-hughes]

No it doesn't. Why would it? Why are you using the emotive term 'savage'?

Black treacle sponge covered in a Black liquorice icing. :0)

[emmie]

it was a strange way to highlight the subject of female circumcision, having read the piece i wondered why the artist thought it would be.
D9 you seem to have included words that have no bearing on the article at all.

[d9f1c7]

oh dear, have a day off em10! This is meant to be tongue in cheek by using standard AB terminolgy to be Hyperbolic, geddit?

[Wharton]

Reputation for tolerant liberalism? Does that explain why Sweden sold armaments to both sides in WW2?

[sandyRoe]

That 'racist savage' clearly can't have his cake and eat it.

D9, on this site you need to spoon feed many posters and dont try any form of sarcasm or similar as it goes right over the heads of many and you get branded for something you didnt really mean !!

This looks like the usual take offence at the slightest. To be honest I would not have thought a thing about it unless pointed out.

"Black treacle sponge covered in a Black liquorice icing. :0)"

It looks pink inside to me! Suggests strawberries/raspberry maybe? Definitely no "bits" though - I think they missed a trick with no red sauce coming out when slices were cut out.

I do think this is a really stupid way of trying to get a point across. It's impossible to take seriously.

Look at her arms, poor girl did a grand Job.

no need to be rude, but seems par for the course for some. No i didn't see it as tongue in cheek, was it supposed to be.
