A Lesson From South Africa

by Les May

FOREIGN owned shops and businesses, many of them Nigerian, have been attacked in South Africa. They have been attributed to xenophobia, as have the retaliatory attacks in Nigeria.

Now South Africans probably know more about the real meaning of ‘racism’ that we do, but that was not the term they chose to use. Perhaps there is a lesson here for the zealots in the UK who like to throw the word around like so much confetti.
