This is a great post.. I'll post this around!
The Mongolian pic is priceless. I bet none of the other Batsuuris dare step too close to Dad's raw meat!
My friend forwarded me an e-mail containing these pictures. I couldn't help but notice that they showed the black african family living in a refugee camp. If the goal was to show the average diet of each country, then this wasn't achieved for a Chadian family. Why is it always about showing devastation when it comes to the Western media's focus on sub-saharan Africa? I can't find an explanation for this tendency other than racism. No wonder people have such a misconstrued opinion of Africa. SNB
