One thing that we need to remember is that ethnic and racial background are not the only ways to classify people. those who are in power often make the attempt to separate other people from them by pointing out things that are different. This can be most noticed by looking at the differences of religion or sex. What happened with Sarah Bartman was inexplicably cruel but unfortunately not an isolated incident. Would only be so lucky that it was only one, although one is too many. it is only through drawing attention to these sorts of actions that the general population begins to realize that these sorts of things happen. The only stories that the media will tell you are those that they believe they can sell. The simple fact is that acts of everyday discrimination would never make the news.
