labrum said:It's a sad world we inhabit, when the focus is on the lad's colour and nationality rather than the fact he is a child who was a long way from his mum. The fact that others have it as hard or harder doesn't make it any less of a traumatic experience for him; just glad some of you aren't my dad!
I think only SPB mentioned colour, hardly focussing on it and as for nationality, that's probably because in that part of the world different standards apply.
