Spain s postal service is feeling a backlash from its attempt to highlight racial inequality after releasing four stamps of different skin colour and different values | @gescaichfolch
Spain’s postal service is facing a backlash over an attempt to highlight racial inequality.
State-owned Correos Espana this week issued a set of four stamps in different skin-coloured tones – the darker the stamp, the lower the price.
The lightest colour costs 1.60 euros (£1.37), and the darkest is 0.70 euros (60p).
The postal service calls them Equality Stamps and introduced them on the anniversary of George Floyd being killed by a police officer in Minneapolis.
It said the stamps “reflect an unfair and painful reality that shouldn’t be allowed” and that every letter or parcel sent with them would “send a message against racial inequality”.
