‘White’ monkeys and ‘black’ pigs
Some people associate monkeys with black people. I don’t know why. For me, this is definitely a ‘white’ monkey:

Different types of sceptics
There are three different types of sceptics:
1) Macro-sceptics, who mistrust all institutions such as the government, political parties and their leaders, the police, etc.,
2) Micro-sceptics, who mistrust all individuals – strangers as well as those who they know,
and 3) M&M-sceptics who are a combination of (1) and (2).
:D

Toyota – What’s bad for us, is good for others
In its recent TV advertisement, Toyota advocates ‘multiculturalism’ for the US society. A rabbi, a priest, an imam and a Buddhist monk, sitting in a Toyota-car, are heading to a football stadium. Though they reach their destination late, they are still able to witness their (American) team’s victory which they passionately celebrate together. Then, the sentence “We’re all one team” appears on screen.
Toyota is a Japanese company headquartered in Toyota, Aichi, Japan. Though I am not familiar with Japanese media, I am relatively sure that Toyota does not as actively support the fight against racism and other social and political injustices in Japan, as it does in the US. Astonishingly, in 2016, Japan granted the refugee status to only 28 asylum seekers, in 2015, to only 27, and in 2014, to only 11 (source: Wikipedia). And it would be yet more interesting to find out how many people from other ‘race’s live in Japan – how many blacks, browns, bright-browns, dark-whites, and even bright-whites… [But unfortunately, I don’t have time to make an online-search for this and find it out! So, if you have found some information regarding this, please share it with me :D]
