“Når folk kan lide mig, siger de, at det er på trods af min farve. Når de ikke kan lide mig, pointerer de, at det ikke er på grund af min farve,” skrev Frantz Fanon.Strategisk uvidenhed og manglen på interesse i faglig viden dominerer den offentlige samtale om landets etniske og religiøse minoriteter. ‘Sådan er det bare’ giver et reflekteret bud på, hvad der sker med Danmarks forhold til minoriteter i disse år.Den handler om racialisering og dens intime forhold til banal og ideologisk nationalisme, der forenes i en underliggende fraktal logik kaldet “nationen-i-fare".

Det er saglige holdninger baseret på reel viden, der lægges for dagen, men det er samtidig en bidende samfundsrevselse, som kan være en øjenåbner på alle sider af det politiske spektrum.
The Muhammad cartoon crisis of 20056 in Denmark caught the world by surprise as the growing hostilities toward Muslims had not been widely noticed.
