A "racist" van would be where a bunch of guys jump out of it and beat the shit out of muslims.
This is more of a rolling public service announcement.
The government is allowed to advertise the law. In fact, one could argue that they should.

That also wouldn't be a racist van that would be a van of religious prejudice.
Just to clarify to everyone a racist van would be a van which spreads views of racism, since there seems to be a bit of confusion about that.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.

It's a pretty basic tactic to try and cause disruption, use the words racist, pedophile, sexist or some other controversy causing words like these directed against someone and if enough idiots hear about it disruption will happen.

Oh I'm not saying I know what this racist van thing is all about, who started this tweet or who is against the van, but I think if you were able to compare the amount of reaction a topic called
"Stop the van which is prejudice against people who aren't legally allowed to be within this country coming to this country because of immigration laws"
vs
"Stop the racist van"
You would find that the one that is more factually accurate would get less attention than the one that has the word "racist" in it.

Besides, I haven't made up the word "racist van". It was used by the people who are against it, and so I have seen it fit to use it as the title.

You give the appearance to agree with them. So, you think it is racist.

The van's not racist. In bad taste? Maybe, but not racist.
