The Hate-Filled Samoosa
No, I am not making this up. The article ran in the Cape Argus, one of our local newspapers. It concerns an American man on vacation here who was attacked by a shopkeeper of Middle Eastern descent. Apparently, the American asked about the contents of the samoosa and the shopkeeper went postal on him. Pretty big news item at that moment. Unfortunately, much darker problems such as Robert Mugabe's treatment of the poor in Zimbabwe and the London bombings take precedence today.
