Spain Postal Service’s Anti-Racism Campaign Backfires

“Spain’s postal service prompted widespread criticism this week after introducing skin-tone stamps — with the lightest ones being the most valuable — and promoting them as part of an anti-racism campaign,” the Washington Post reports.

From a news release: “The darker the stamp, the less value it will have. Therefore, when making a shipment, it will be necessary to use more black stamps than white ones. That way, each letter and each shipment will become a reflection of the inequality created by racism.”
