Police officers are gathered in front of the Zeche Zollern museum in Dortmund, the focus of what social networks are describing as a racism scandal.
The row centres around the exhibition 'This is Colonialism' and the museum's decision to restrict white people from entering a small section of the display. For several months now, Saturdays at the museum have been reserved for black people and people of colour to explore a colonialism exhibition
The museum claims the objective is not to be discriminatory, but to reserve a safe space for reflection for non-whites.
I actually see the value in providing a safe space for oppressed or marginalized communities, such in the way that women's shelters don't allow men.
I don't know what the answer is be here, but it's not nearly as black and white (no pun intended) as commenters here seem to believe.
