Someone Keeps Covering Up Racist Graffiti With Cat Stickers In Manchester

There are many to cover up racist messaging but this one simply happens to be very purrfect. Someone has come up with an ingenious way to combat racist graffiti and posters in Manchester with the help of a few cat stickers. Each sticker says on it “There was some racist rubbish here but I covered it up with this picture of a cat” and we absolutely love it!

Most cities will have graffiti and some of them are more appealing than others but then there are some that are purely racist and insulting to certain social groups. Noticing a problem, someone in Manchester decided to act upon it by covering the graffiti up with this cat sticker.

They figured the best way to fight against it is not just to try and hide it but to acknowledge the problem and face it head-on

The Anti-Fascist group sell a variety of stickers, with these in particular at $14 (£7) for a pack of thirty.

The move in Manchester has been widely praised, with one person saying: “Love this idea. I used to spend hours scraping racist stickers from bus stops.”
