Selma, Just what do you mean by the comment above? Of course, being
good and deeply ingrained brown-skinned racialists/racists, we do
believe that some people are simply superior by birth. I am sure Rui
would agree with me wholeheartedly here.
It is an insidious suggestion to make that those who are "ahead" in
the race have got to where they are by blocking or monopolising
opportunity, or even not sharing it equitably with others.
I think you'll people are just too liberally and striving to be
politically-correct all the time. --FN
