Lego has been accused of 'racism' because of supposed similarities between its Star Wars model of “Jabba’s Palace”.
and Istanbuls Hagia Sophia mosque
Daily Telegraph Lego accused of racism with Star Wars set
Austria’s Turkish community also took issue with the figures that went with the palace, including Jabba.
“It is clear that the ugly figure of Jabba and the whole scene smacks of racial prejudice and vulgar insinuations against Asians and Orientals as people with deceitful and criminal personalities.”
As an indication of the anger felt over Jabba’s Palace, (The Turkish Cultural Community of Austria) said it was considering taking legal action against Lego for inciting racial hatred and insulting human dignity.
Well get a grip because
1, Hagia Sophia is not a mosque, it is a museum
2. Its main structure was designed and used as a Christian Basilica for over 1,000 years before being captured by Islam so if anyone needs moaning it is the Christians.
Thus far Lego has declined to apologise.
