Thread Name: Appalled.
Subject: Appalled.
While reading my digital newspaper this morning I came across an item that I thought would be of interest, especially when recent threads have touched on both bigotry and tall ships, an odd combination I know.

It seems that the French will not let Africans from this ship into France while allowing the white European crew members to enter, no problem. These kids are taking part in a multi-culteral sail training exercise in tolerance around Europe, some example eh.

The full storey is to be found on the British page of the Times website.

Here's a link to the story.
