Sweden's minister of culture Lena Adelsohn Liljeroth found herself in a sticky situation after photos of her cutting into a cake depicting a naked black woman sparked an uproar.
The Local, Sweden's English language newspaper, reports that the taxpayer-funded party took place on April 15th as a celebration of World Art Day.
According to Swedish newspaper Fria Tider, the minister kicked off the event by "slicing a piece of a cake depicting a stereotyped African woman." The installation "was reportedly meant to highlight the issue of female circumcision," The Local reports.
As party-goers cut into the cake woman's body, a human head screamed in pain.
The performance artist responsible for portraying the cake's head, a man (yes, a man) identified by The Local as Makode Aj Linde, posted a comment alongside a photo of the cake on his Facebook page.
"This is After getting my vagaga mutilated by the minister of culture, Lena Adelsohn Liljeroth," Linde wrote. "Before cutting me up she whispered "Your life will be better after this" in my ear."
Many were quick to condemn the installation as racist.
"[The minister's] participation, as she laughs, drinks, and eats cake, merely adds to the insult against people who suffer from racist taunts and against women affected by circumcision," Kitimbwa Sabuni, spokesperson for the National Afro-Swedish Association, said in a statement.
According to the World Health Organization, about 140 million girls and women are living with the consequences of female genital mutilation, which has no health benefits and is generally carried out when girls are between infancy and 15-years-old. Amnesty International explains:
Female genital mutilation is the removal of part or all of the external female genitalia. In its most severe form, a woman or girl has all of her genitalia removed and then stitched together, leaving a small opening for intercourse and menstruation. It is practiced in 28 African countries on the pretext of cultural tradition or hygiene.
The article above states it was a "stereotypical black woman", what part of it was stereotypical? That they're made of cake? Or am I missing something?

Sad thing is there was probably some intellectual black person there but they just stood in the crowd with the i eat shit grin on their mug.
It's not like it was on some ignorant insensitive shit either, they knew what they were doing, dude in the background was seizing up and flat lining the whole video.
Ah, this Swedish guy is a member of the "cultural elite", and the person who made this is apparently some famous artist.
Now it makes sense. (the part about why in the world do they have a cake of a coonish looking black woman)
It may look fucked up, but I can't really say it's racist unless more information is given.
Fuck that bullshit. Shit pisses me off. I wish the Unabomber/Mail Bomber hadn't stolen my swagg, I'd have something for the bitch and her pet coon.
I just noticed that the Unibomer is wearing a hoody, white/black did not start making a big deal out of hoodies (saying it's thug wear) until Trayvon Martin got murked.
