The person behind this cake is an African-Swedish artist who wanted to "problematize" racist concepts.
The pictured culture minister was only told she was to "cut some cakes" and was wholly unprepared for its symbolism (whatever it is).
Reporters have discussed that she would do "the wrong thing" no matter what she'd do: she'd be deemed a racist if she cut the cake, she'd be anti-feminist and anti-free speech if she didn't.
Hence, some say, she was lured into a trap.
