At first glace, this seems to be Japanese characters due to both the surrounding art of the mural as well as the general curvature and calligraphy of the word. On further inspection though, this simply says "GAK". For East Asian and/or Japanese immigrants, things like this would at the very least be cause for confusion, and for the rest of the non-immigrant population, only serves as a nice aesthetic piece and nothing to promote more "multicultural" attitudes.
