Well, some 20 years ago I saw this poster in the university of Delft:

Een eenvoudige oplossing
voor een kompleks probleem:
remigratie?!?!
maar dan wel konsekwent;
Amerika voor de indianen
Azië voor de aziaten
Australië voor de aboriginals
Zuid-Afrika slegs vir swartes
de Zuidpool voor de pinguins
Nederland weer onder water.

"A simple solution
for a complex problem:
remigration?!?!
sure, but then let's go all the way;
America for the Indians
Asia for the Asians
Australia for the Aboriginees,
South Africa slegs vir swartes (for blacks only)
the South Pole for the penguins
the Netherlands back onder water."

Pity about the stroopwafels, though... :-)
