HPB

There are two parts to the problem:

#1: The Maltese are reductionists. For them a baby is a baby as ghagin is ghagin (let alone the variety, the sauce and the cooking method).

#2: The Maltese are complexed by any association with Africa, hence their efforts to dismiss anything ‘dark’.

It think it wants to make the infected women feel guilty for frequenting the wrong men without protection.

And if a woman doesn’t know that her husband frequents rubbish and falls pregnant? A future mum could be affected by HIV and couldn’t be aware as, as far knows she is married to a “family man”.

Of course it does, if you think Bambini with golden curls, blonde V18 cover girls and red-headed puttini are racist.

I find the use of the emotionally-charged word “Aryan” offensive. It belongs to the dustbin of history, outdated racial classification rooted in the middle ages and pseudo-science. What does a “typical Maltese baby” look like, anyway? To me, this smacks of an undercurrent of racism.

Let me put it this way: would you use an Asian child if you were running the ad in Sweden?

They could have changed those posters by now.
