You ready for this?
In this little rant in the Daily Telegraph submissions section (at the very end, entitled "Be Watchful"), the author complains about a huge problem with the Orange Revolution: the people demostrating in Kyiv are all white.
How is it possible that the millions of protesters could have been so thoughtless they forgot to be multiracial?
Even more importantly: Why did all the black voters stay home in villages throughout Ukraine, and what does this say about Yushchenko's supposedly nationwide support base?
Lesya suggests that it is probably true that Ukrainians' predominant whiteness "reflects their misfortune"; The next government must expend every effort to create a nationwide network of government sponsored tanning salons.
