To want to know how this ride gets away with this 2019?

AIBU?

Gets away with what?

Yeah not really sure of the issue?

Huh

What you on about?

It's like a teacup ride...

Just seems a bit racist with the cannibal black man. Ok just me then.

I assume it's the theme that the op is getting at.

I don't see a problem.

How is that racist? I thought you meant it’s the cannabalism thing you had an issue with. So it would be ok if it was a white man? Because that’s racist on your part then.

Struggling to see a problem

Get a grip

Where on earth did you get a black cannibal man?!

Wtf with these responses? Have you just not looked very closely?

No, I do see it now but I don’t think it’s racist...

@Soubriquet - I think this is where the OP got it from...

I agree. It’s hideous!! Will stick to Alton towers.

Photo fail, but it seems you’ve already seen it anyway!

Then please educate yourself about the history of using monstrous caricatures like this to dehumanise people of colour.

Because it's not in the UK?

Yes it seems racist to me.

Yep not sure how thats still considered ok. Its grotesque and inappropriate.

De Efteling is all based around fairy tales etc. Yes, it is inappropriate when taken out of context, but as part of the whole park, doesn't stand out.

(I do agree, tho, it made me wince!)

Ohhh no I didnt look closely at the photo, I thought it was a weird bronze coloured statue of people.
Yeah, not cool. Especially with a spoon through his bloody nose.

Its not hard to do a repaint. You could change it to blue and purple polka dots. Its not hard

🙄

Yeah, that's not really cool.

While we're (kind of) on the subject, when did it become correct to use the term 'people of colour' when 'coloured people' is a big no-no? That seems strange to me!
