Sweden’s culture minister Lena Adelsohn Liljeroth said Wednesday that she has no intention of resigning over the cake cutting scandal. A Swedish organization promoting the rights of people of African origin on Tuesday called for the minister to resign for participating in a "tasteless, racist spectacle" that has made international headlines.

"According to Moderna Museet, the cake eating party was intended to highlight the problem of female circumcision, but how this is supposed to be done with a cake depicting a racist caricature of a black woman … is unclear," said Kitimbwa Sabuni, head of the African Swedish National Association.
