Race Relations

One of the best trainings we have had so far was the last week, when we spoke about Race relations in Namibia. All of our Namibian trainers got into a circle and were told a certain ethnic group, then had to say the first thing that came to mind. Here are some of their responses for my people, The San:
Marginalized, Drunkards, Hunters, 1st Namibians, No land, Primitive, Vulnerable, and no vision.

Some of the things they said about some of the other ethnic groups: Drunkards, thieves, drunkards, like to fight, proud, drunkards…see a certain common denominator?

Then the most interesting, to me, was what they said about Americans:

Think they’re VIP’s, Rich, Want to rule the world, Love war, Exploiters, Hard working, Rich, pimped out cars, Dominating.

It was a really good session, take from it what you will. What do you all think?
