Yes, let's stand up for protecting the white minority in Bolivia, 
victims of reverse racism just like Alan Bakke.

Ruthless, you are brainless. You post this crapola from a disgusting 
social democratic magazine infamous for its Zionism and its support for 
military intervention in Yugoslavia in order to condemn Morales for

isn't it? Inciting class resentment. Thank god for that.
