Explore Minnesota dismisses vast cultures to promote a slice of White Minnesota – Governor Dayton, can you put a stop to the misrepresentation?
The real challenge with this planning and airing of a promotional commercial about Explore Minnesota is that it was put together by a collective group of people that have no conciseness, experience or the outreach mechanism to understand that Minnesota is rich in cultures that have great experiences – but then again, if you’re a shade darker [...]
