Whether on the street, in the media, on the screen, or on the field, hate speech is alarmingly present – and needs to be dealt with.

As passionate football fans, we were ashamed when a black player received monkey chants from the stands during a match. Even more sadly – it is  no exception.

Outspoken discrimination against people of color is  a recurring problem throughout stadiums in Europe, and  Germany is no different.

Drawing from the Darwin’s idea of our common origin, we came up with a bold campaign with the claim “I’m a monkey, just like you” to disarm the hurtful chants and highlight their absurdity.

If anyone is a monkey, we are all monkeys!
