In case it's necessary, I should point out that Rohan
is an Australian. So therefore the struggle in the US
will happen regardless of Rohan's opinion, anyway.

As it happens, I live in a town that has a relatively
large African population by Australian standards. We
have a university, which provides us with a relatively
large proportion of overseas students, including
Africans. It's also a racist town, which means that we
have a proportionately large population of "white"
immigrants from Zimbabwe and South Africa. And,
finally, we have had a significant influx of people
from the Sudan in the last decade and a half.

We have a handful of African-Americans, but basically,
most of our African folks are, ummm, "blacker than
thou, dude". Really. They were born in the freakin'
Nile Valley, not Detroit, yah know...
