Be Watchful

Am I the only person to have been disgusted by the newspaper photographs of crowds demonstrating in the Ukrainian city of Kiev?

Although their numbers ran into thousands, even millions, my own minute examination of these photographs failed to reveal any but white people. This would be unthinkable, and quite rightly, in Britain, where any photograph of a group of people, however small, in any major city, village, or average home, would show a good proportion of black people or Indians.

Friends tell me that there are very few black people or Indians in the Ukraine, so it is not surprising that crowds of demonstrators are entirely white. This is beside the point.

If the inhabitants of the Ukraine are predominantly white, that is their misfortune. But, as in Britain, such photographs should point the way to a better future, in which the Ukraine will be as multiracial as any other country, and most of its present troubles, which are due to persistent racism, will be over.

Зато просто, доступно, актуально.

PS: не читал часом "Дети против волшебников"? Дюже то.

Мишка, некогда читать. Поэтому читаю по рекомендациям.

Имеет смысл?

Понимаю, поэтому и рекомендую. Сам читаю урывками по дороге обычно нынче...
