Dear MEL
Topic Readers,
German
supermarket clears foreign goods from shelves to make point about racism
It seems like
just a reminder to the public about how diverse today’s world is. Imagine how
much of the merchandises sold at a supermarket come from other countries. Also,
look around your house. How much of the clothes, foods, toiletries, electronic
devices and furniture are made in your own country? You’ll be surprised to find
how internationalized your life is.
One of the supermarket
chains in Germany removed all the merchandises that came from other countries
and show the nearly-empty shelves to their customers and the public. The purpose?
To show how diverse the world is at a time when anti-immigrants movements are
arising. If diversity of product origins provides us with a variety of daily
necessities, what about diversity of community and society?
Enjoy reading
and seeing the “what if” photos, and think if you want to watch a TV channel that
shows only about your own community but nothing else.
