| Message | You believe in free competition, and yet you force people of a certain skin colour into the workplace, by forcing employers to hire them? How is that merit-based and fair, when you are judged on the basis of skin colour? Not only is this intensly offensive to our minorities, saying they need the help of the dominant race to succeed in life, as since they are of a certain skin colour, they do not have the same potential we do, it is also against free competition, a core DFM value. |

| Message | Yes, you've got a point there and we need to clarify our position here. Some background info about our party first. . The DFM believe that our society functions best when every citizen has a chance to make the best of it. Centuries ago many Dundorfians fled from Dundorf to our Republic. Many member of our party are related to the Dundorfian Duntrekkers, a simple, poor and agricultural minded people. They speak mainly Dundorfian, a sort of German, form a close community and are less well educated. The DFM represent their interests. Our positive discrimination policy is linked to that part of our history. So, please think about other neglected minorities in our society. If we do not have them integrated well in our society this might become a breeding ground for anti-social behaviour. The expenses will be much higher. |

| Message | The Dundorfians are good people, and with the end of the our oppressive private schools system, they will get the same chance as everybody else in our public schools. Our farm subsidies will ensure they can live off the food they grow for Kirlawa. It seems these Dundorfians are very honourable people, as are all our minorities. They can succeed without the help of us white, english Kirlawans. They are just as capable as we are, and do not need our help to suceed. We believe at the DSP that race should mean absolutely nothing in Kirlawa, you say that if you are of the correct race, you are more likely to get a job and favourable treatment. We cannot support such a thing. |
