Apparently the fellow playing the face of the woman (and the artist who made the cake) is a black fellow.
The cake representing a black woman isn't really a problem. The issue is that the minister or her staff thought it a good idea to make a cake that screamed and bled when you ate it. It's frankly just astonishingly bizarre.
What? Read the background story. The minister or her staff didn't make the cake, she was invited to an art exubition by a black artist where the cake was one of the art pieces. Of course it's bizarre, but that's art unfortunatley. If you're the Minister of Culture you have to attend these sort of freak shows, it's part of the job.
What is truly outragous is tax-payer money funding this crap.
