In the age of social media, misinformation can spread quickly and influence public opinion. An example of this is the banner “Integrate, white woman”, which has been appearing again and again on social media, especially recently, and whose origin and meaning is often misunderstood. We already in 2021 . This article aims to clarify the origin and intention of the banner.
What does the banner say?
The banner circulating on social media shows three people: two who are marked as Muslim - a man and a woman wearing a full-body veil - and in the middle a woman who is presented as a typical German blonde. The message on the banner reads: “Integrate, white woman! Dress respectfully of other cultures and be considerate of the religious feelings of discriminated against minorities. Everyday racism starts with clothing.”

Possible interpretations: “Integrate, white woman”
The interpretation of this banner depends heavily on the perspective of the viewer. Some might take it as it says - as a call from Muslims to German women. This perspective implies that the banner was made by Muslims.
Another approach lies in meta-communication – the message behind the message. In this interpretation, the banner could refer to the loss of German traditions and the “Islamization of the West”. Such narratives, which stoke fears of the displacement of minorities, often serve as an excuse to incite xenophobia.
