New World Trade Center Vandalised With Racist Graffiti

New World Trade Center Vandalised With Racist Graffiti


Bathrooms throughout 1 World Trade Center, which is due to open in 2014, are filled with graffiti containing racial and ethnic slurs, the N. Y. Daily News reports.

“Whites only,” reads a message over the urinals in one bathroom. Many messages target President Obama who visited the construction site last June: “Where’s Obama’s birth certificate!!!!”

“Most of it’s racial,” a source told the N.Y. Daily News. “Most of it – I mean, there’s a lot of stuff with the N-word. But pretty much every race is covered: Spanish people, Irish people, Jewish people, women.”

“It’s filthy, it’s shocking,” Marie-Anne Sanchez, 37, who was visiting from Paris with her fiancé, told the NY Daily News. “This is a holy place. People died here. I don’t like this. It makes me sad.”
