It's difficult to try and add some comments, but let me try. Does anyone recall that Barack Hussein is only milk-coffee? There has been a joke going around Spain lately about how some of our rightwingest political figures do actually look blacker than Obama. Check it out here: http://meneame.net/story/obama-es-negro Myself I do not believe in positive discrimination of any kind (neither negative, 'course), so I support a race neutral policy if it goes along and equally centered racism fighting policy which I think every state should have in place since WWII. The case of Semenya's olimpic hermaphroditism is just another facet of how diffuse our artificial mental barriers are sometimes, in race just as in gender. If you want to watch a pretty good moder satire of Apartheid, go and see Peter Jackson's produced film "District-9" where they give another turn to the affair where aliens park their UFO over South-African slums, in a neat metaphore to reflect upon.
