What I have a hard time believing is that in today's world there's still the need for this kind of thing to happen. It reminds me of when I was young in the 60s. There was still a lot of black vs white racism going on. As I grew up I saw racism over here in North America pretty much fade out of existence, and assumed that the rest of the world was growing up too. Now decades later at age 54 I'm seeing this on TV and I'm having exactly the same reaction. You mean the world is really like this ! As much as one cannot help but admire this young woman, it's also a sad commentary on the state of humanity in our global village that she should have to find herself in this position to begin with. Will humans ever evolve beyond all the ideological and religious garbage that is weighing us down?
