New posters have popped up in east Toronto, this time encouraging residents to love and embrace diversity in the community.

The Danforth-Woodbine area made national headlines Monday after at least six racist posters promoting the "alt-right" were discovered in Stan Wadlow Park.

The posters said, in part: "Wondering why only white countries have to become 'multicultural?' Figured out that diversity only means 'less white people?'"

"Tired of political correctness? Wondering why only white countries have to become 'multicultural'?," read the posters found in Stan Wadlow Park. (CBC)

Toronto police are investigating and urging anyone who knows anything about who put the posters up to contact them.

On Tuesday, posters reading "Diversity and respect for all" and "I [heart] diversity" were attached to streetlights in the area.

Amber Anderson, who shared images of the posters on Facebook, said she was delighted to see a mother putting them up.

Local dad hopes racist posters will backfire

Meanwhile, a Toronto father of two who ripped down at least three of the racist posters told CBC Radio's Metro Morning that he believes they will have the opposite effect of what they intended.

"When I see people in my neighbourhood now, I want to share an extra smile with them," Ian Daffern said.

Daffern said he was walking his four-year-old son to junior kindergarten on Monday morning when he saw one of the posters pasted onto a hydro pole near the elementary school.

"I just stopped in my tracks," he said.

"It's important to keep your eyes open," he said.
