To me this poster does not make any sense at all. All you see when you look at it is sexuality - no relation to stop racism or bad politics or addressing problems in this country.

And having my children look at it is not acceptable. It shows their young minds the freedom to be sexual.

A poster of an image where a group of young people, mixed races, together would have said more about "In our future, you wouldn't look twice". 

Sexual racial interaction will always be a very tender issue to millions of people and will never be a completely accepted idea. It is not an idea that needs to be fought for.

Rather show images of an extremely poor man, beaten up by poverty, collecting garbage and fastening it around himself on that poster. His new face would be smiling instead of looking like he is somewhere in hell. That says something about "In our future, you wouldn't look twice”.

Maybe young people have nothing else to think of. It just shows the shallow mentality of teenagers.

When I look at that it says exactly what our future is going to be like: full of AIDS and other related illnesses if our young people don't change their attitude.

Rather have clean images that show togetherness as humans on a mission to create peace and a better life for even the poorest.
