Subject: RE: BS: Traveller Discrimination in the US 3
Thanks for the link, Áine, 'well-balanced' is a good description of its content.

Two bits from it:
(1) "That this woman and the people involved happen to be of Irish Traveler descent is totally irrelevant to the case and we fail to understand why such an issue is being made about her ethnicity," says Collins. "
Yeah, that's what many here thought from the very first posts on.

(2) Did I read correctly (it qwas not completely unambiguous) that Ms. Toogood was the first to introduce her ethnic background into this case?
