The majority of foreign aid workers in Africa white?
I attended a lecture/seminar approx year before last with the then director of MSF when this question was raised. He handled it well. He said he was aware of the way it may appear as in neo-colonial, and recognized that racism still straddles certain careers and opportunities.
He gave the impression at the time that he felt it mattered, and hoped over time it would change
Cant remember what he said he do about it...
But then... what can he do?
I wonder of the impact (if any ) on the psychology of the people receiving help.
Maybe to even think about it, is a luxury they cannot afford
Do you think it matters?
