Ironically for the flyer in description of a class of self identified irony loving hipsters, it is racist for identifying an entire group "hipsters" as only white, and xenophobic about new people coming in. I think it is disgusting.

Also "your" should be "you're"

At least the influx of these new residents, poorly artistically described as attending UIC or SAIC might bring up the education level of that poor excuse for a neighborhood, of which the predominant current race in that neighborhood largely displaced the original Czechs who established it from the ground up.

Shame on the buffoon who drew this and anybody in support of these xenophobic tactics.

Is Pilsen trying to establish a new localized Third Reich?

That flyer was on Chicagoist and several other websites last may. That flyer is at least 10-15 years too late. SAIC kids and other hipsters starting moving in long ago. Pilsen's white population has been well over 20% since the 90s and currently is around 36% percent. Hardly a new phenomenon and their not going anywhere.

I took this photo. Personally I think it was done as a joke, probably by some hipster, although I think some people really do agree with this.

I'm sure it's probably a scrap from an SAIC BFA show created by some ironically dressed poor art student from Greenwich, CT.

April of last year in an abandoned factory on Ashland near the Orange Line. Despite the fact this looks like a photocopy I've never seen or heard of any other copies.

Posted it on flickr and it seemed to get picked up by a lot of people and kept on spreading around the internets.
