A poster on the wall of a barbecue restaurant depicting a hanging Iranian has sparked outrage and accusations of racism.
The sepia picture in Nonmacher’s Bar-B-Q in Katy, Texas shows armed men surrounding the hanged man and includes the caption: ‘Let’s play cowboys and Iranians.’
One member of the lynch mob wears a shirt that reads: ‘Iranians Suck.’
But despite cries of racism and threats of a protest on Saturday, the owner of Nonmacher’s has refused to remove the poster.
John Nonmacher said: ‘This is still America. If they’re not happy here, then they should go back to Iran.
