From the Paper:

"Scientists at the newly discovered nation of Irk off the East Coast of the Atlantic Ocean have just discovered a drug that could stop racism that is eating the souls of their white and black population. The drug is a simple tablet administered by dissolving it in the public water tank. Once people drink the water that contains the drug, they automatically cease to be racist and treat one another as persons with respect and recognition."
