racism. I’m having a hard time thinking it’s coincidental that the symbol
they chose for “odd man out” is a LEGO brick, given the recent cartoon
controversy.

I doubt that the UN is trying to take a stand for the
Danish cartoonists and free speech, since Louise Arbour - the High Commissioner
for Human Rights - is already on record:
‘I would like to emphasise that I deplore any statement or act showing a lack
of respect towards other people’s religion,’ she said.
I think it’s just a case of LEGO being a very recognizable toy
