It will be incidents like this that will eventually do in Black Lives Matter and the mob witc- hunters looking to sniff out “racism” wherever it hides — or anyone thinks it.
The “Little Mermaid” statue in Copenhagen, depicting Hans Christian Anderson’s beloved little girl sitting on a rock, fins and all, was vandalized with the epithet “racist fish,” according to Danish authorities.

A million people visit the statue every year and Anderson’s story has been immortalized in two Walt Disney movies. But that didn’t stop the racial-police mob from attacking it.
Naturally, Danish authorities are at a loss — as is anyone with more than two working brain cells — for why the statue or Anderson himself would be targeted.
Ane Grum-Schwensen, a researcher at the HC Andersen Centre at the University of Southern Denmark, told the Danish news agency Ritzau: “I am having a hard time seeing what is particularly racist in the fairytale The Little Mermaid.”
The statue had been a target of vandalism before according to an English-language Danish website:
The Little Mermaid, inspired by a character in Danish poet and author Hans Christian Andersen’s 1837 fairytale of the same name, is a 175-kilogram (385-pound) statue by sculptor Edvard Eriksen.
The statue has been vandalised numerous times over the years, including when the mermaid’s head was stolen in 1964 and 1998, as well as when an arm was cut off in 1984.
But why Hans Christian Anderson? Well, he’s white, of course. And then there’s that name — “Christian.” Got to be a racist, right?
Not hardly.

According to police other statues around Copenhagen have also been vandalised with “various phrases.”
One of missionary Hans Egede, who launched Lutheran mission efforts to Greenland, and one of Mahatma Gandhi in the northwestern part of the city.
Police also said that on June 16, someone had written “racist” on a statue of Danish King Christian IV, who ruled between 1588 and 1648.
Oh, for cryong out loud...
racist fish
The only answer is to deport these less than civilized people back to some country where they can live like arrogant animals. Let them fend for themselves.
Is there pandemic virus going around that turns people in to idiots?
Isn’t using the English language racist?
For extra points: Who can tell me the name of the mermaid.
And “Little” doesn’t count.
But, but According to some, Hans Christian Anderson was so homely looking that no woman would have him, so he never married.
So the homos try to claim him as one of their own!
And his fish still got vandalized.
Would that make it a Racist anti-homo hate crime?
Well Danny Kaye did play him in the movie.
The racially obsessed—i.e. racists—see race everywhere—even where it isn’t.
Its funny, little black Sambo is not allowed because he is black. The little mermaid is racist because she is white. I think the Muslims will get there wish. There will be no depiction of anybody. Watch out Ampelman.
“even where it isn’t.”
That right there proves you are a racist. denying racist isn’t everywhere proves you are a racist..../s..?
The question mark is because i am not to sure that isn’t how their minds are CONDITIONED to think...?
In Dutch, the word "kill" means body of water, most commonly a creek. Several years ago, some moron in Albany, NY wanted the name of a body of water changed that was in that area. I can't remember the actual name of the creek he wanted changed, but he wanted the word "live" to replace the word "kill"... so it wouldn't be let's say, "Normans Kill," but "Normans Live." People are very stupid.
RE: Isn’t using the English language racist?
Well, would using the Danish language be any less racist?
After all, the ancestors of the Danes were VIKINGS, AKA, slave traders.
RE: Who can tell me the name of the mermaid
ARIEL? That’s what I got from Disney...
It’s just another form of paranoia.
