The front cover of today's Sun newspaper

[sombrefan]

The biggest selling British tabloid tackles racism. Possibly the bravest and most shocking front cover they've ever done. I think they're to be commended for addressing this issue.

It's a very Independent like cover, only I dont think they'd go so far as to put racial slurs on their front cover, very occasionally, The Sun surprises me, such as when they put a Muslim victim of 7/7 on their cover, although it makes it all the more disappointing that they're so frequently willing to indulge in xenophobia.

That was very interesting and something I never would have seen. Thanks!

We can say many things about The Sun, but I think they've managed to do something right here.

I'm even considering translating this in Dutch, so I can use it with my pupils.

Thanks for posting that, Simon. I don't think many papers would have published that picture - or shown the problem from quite that angle.
