Apperently it's to highlight genital mutilation.
We Yanks don't countenance minstrel shows, even in jest.



How odd. I didn't make the racial connection. Would it be better if
the cake were Caucasian?

If this was intended to be a racial thing it's appalling and
disgusting.

Heh!

"Sweden's culture minister today faced furious calls to resign after she was
pictured cutting a 'racist' black cake designed like a native African woman.
Lena Adelsohn Liljeroth had appeared at the Museum of Modern Art in
Stockholm when she was invited to cut the cake which was designed like a
naked African woman. The Swedish minister cut pieces from the black cake,
which had blood-red sponge and was designed to highlight the issue of female
genital mutilation.

Why is OK to have an art exhibit where there is a crucifix soaking in a
jar of urine or a bible smeared with feces? When Christians complain
that's it is shocking, appalling, insulting and extremely distasteful,
they're called intolerant and bigoted against any artistic expression.
After all, it's art of the highest order. o_O
