Why are these women all white?
Article Abstract:
Membership of the Women's Institute (WI) has fallen from almost 380,000 in 1982 to 278,000 in 1994, but the organisation has made very few attempts to attract new members by appealing to women from ethnic minority communities. The WI claims that there is no discrimination against these women, and points out that there is a problem with clashing cultures and traditions. To some observers, the organisation is ignoring women who have a lot to offer.

'That's no white man. That's Joe Slovo.'
Article Abstract:
Joe Slovo devoted his life to the struggle for the liberation of black South Africans, and when he died many black South Africans came to pay their respects to his family. He had requested a small funeral, but the depth of feeling among ordinary South African's made this impossible. Memorial services were held throughout the country, and the country's leading politicians all made speeches acknowledging his influence.

Why white is all right
Article Abstract:
All albinos have to deal with very negative reactions from other people, and find it hard to accept that they are different. There are currently 3,000 albinos living in the UK, with their condition being the result of a genetic disorder. They tend to be extremely short sighted, and have very pale hair and skin. They can seek advice from the Albino Fellowship, the first self-help group for albinos in the world.
