The smell of racism: the Annunciation wash the surprised citizens is ambiguous

Запах расизма: благовещенская автомойка удивила горожан неоднозначной рекламой

In Blagoveshchensk the owners of the car wash netted the institution an ambiguous sign. It depicts the face of a dark-skinned man and the words: “car Wash “Abama”. Clean all black!” Thus the banner is hinting at the American President.

The appearance of such signs in Blagoveshchensk became the occasion for discussion among users of social networks. “Such fine shall!” – wrote the indignant citizen. “Once more idiotic than Patriotic,” said another. There is also the opposite opinion: “I think Barack deserves it. His submission, with his funding and his weapon killed thousands of my countrymen.”

According to the signage law is the Federal Antimonopoly service. In the Amur Department of the Ministry said that about this sign appeals was not. If someone sees fit to complain about the design of the car wash, the Agency will check and if they find a violation of the law “On advertising” will take the decision. By the way, the reason for inspection may be and publications in the media.

In the regional center of the Amur region such cases are not frequent. The last time the FAS were doing the sign of the lingerie shop SisinDom. Then it was found that the sign does not violate the law “About advertising”. However, the name of the store interested in the Public expert Council under the Commissioner for the Amur rights of the child. Written in Latin, the name was considered offensive and may “contain illegal sexual content”. The debate went on, the store first covered the sign with a cloth, then opened. Subsequently, the outlet was closed. Stores with the same name working in Khabarovsk – the public remained indifferent to the problem.

Recently in Russia began to appear more frequently caricatured image of the President of the United States with abusive, racist signatures. They are placed not only on the Internet, but also on cars; do not disdain such “humor” and some manufacturers of confectionery products.

Meanwhile, the main law of the Russian Federation explicitly says that in the country not allowed “propaganda or campaigning inciting social, racial, national or religious hatred and enmity”.
