What's in a lego...

This is the english version of the last poster made by the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (source ohchr.org):
The racist is a red lego block, and Lego is known world-wide to be danish. Following the Mahomet drawings fury, this OHCHR poster is really a bad choice, and I don't doubt it's very well perceived in København

I don't understand that picture, why is the red Lego supposed to be the racist ?
Not sure the red lego box is the racist, since it's excluded of the jigsaw pieces' group.

Salut glazou. Je viens de voir ton glazblog chez versac, alors je me suis dis que j'allais te passer un petit coucou.
Cela dit, je ne pense pas que la brique rouge soit raciste, je pense que c'est plutôt le paquet de pièces noires ("many shapes"...) qui exclut la brique rouge. Note que la brique est 3D, donc plus riche de possibilités que les éléments du puzzle 2D. Et en couleur, VS un fond sombre peu engageant.
Auquel cas, ce serait plutôt bien vu... quoique... limite chiffon rouge...
Mais bien sur, c'est discutable. (et je ne pige pas le danois, mais je te crois sur parole :-).
LE Goyal
I also find this picture very confusing.
Who is racist, the red lego, who doesn't want to be with the others, or the uggly coloured puzzle, that doesn't accept the lego?
On my personal opinion, I more feel that it is the red lego that is taken apart of the others.
Le récent boycott des produits danois n'est-il pas une forme de racisme et d'intolérance ?
C'est comme ça que je comprends l'affiche.
