Is this painting offensive?

Would a white artist have been allowed to get away with this, if the subject matter had happened to be a black person?

Your phrase is stumping Google Translate - can you assist please?

8 out of the last 40 posts, eh, aog? And some only very loosely connected. 25 per cent sounds like 'many' to me,a high percentage for such a subject, but then I can't recall posting a question with any racial or Muslim element, myself.

Why is your percentage as high as that? Are such matters of peculiar interest to you or is it just mere chance? Or is the chosen sample freakishly small? You have posted 3,309 questions and 12,526 replies. Do you have a larger sample? Does that show 25 per cent, or higher?

The fact remains that you give the impression of having that interest. Is that a false impression?

I respond, in this forum, to whatever post is of interest to me, whatever the subject may be, to comment on whatever in it seems true, or false, in its argument or facts.

Is 20% still too high in your opinion?

/// but then I can't recall posting a question with any racial or Muslim element, myself. ///

That is your prerogative, or are you suggesting that I only post on subjects that you also post on?

/// You have posted 3,309 questions and 12,526 replies. Do you have a larger sample? Does that show 25 per cent, or higher? ///

Perhaps you yourself would care to sift through my 3,309 questions so as to discover how many of them contain a racial or Muslim element, and then get out a calculator (I suggest a better one from your first) and then go on to calculate the percentage?

Because it is a certainty that I am not prepared to carry out that task.

/// I respond, in this forum, to whatever post is of interest to me, whatever the subject may be, to comment on whatever in it seems true, or false, in its argument or facts. ///

Then please allow me that same freedom, that is to post questions on any subject that I please, just as long as they do not infringe in any way on Site Rules.

Everybody has their hobbies, aog. Some have their hobby- horses.

Race and religion are important areas in this globalising age. The postmoderns are pushing the world towards global trade, free movement of labour and materials and global government and this is causing tensions with nationalities, religions and between races.

Nationality, Race and religion are the battleground against the homogenisation of humanity.

So AOG is hitting the nail on the head and those who are criticising him for this are probably postmodernists who look forward to a uniform world.
