When people have a chip on their shoulder, not much can be done about that.

Sad, really.
A mother has taken her son out of a school play after he and another black pupil were cast as monkeys.

Lorraine Rees said that Ashley Down Infant School in Bristol had acted in a racist manner by asking her son to perform the role.

Mrs Rees, 39, said her son Myles, seven, was upset when he was asked to play the part of a monkey in the production of An Enchanted Island.
[...]
Speaking from her home in Henbury, Bristol, Mrs Rees said: "Everyone is aware of the racist connotations of asking a black pupil to play a monkey.
[...]
"There is no way that black pupils should even be asked to play monkeys in any type of play."

"My son is very upset by all of this, he had wanted to play the part of a hunter but was told he would have to play the part of a monkey."
[...]
Three other white students are to play monkeys in the play, which will be performed next month.


Is there a possibility that him not getting the role he wanted is the grounds for the upset, and not the monkey factor??

Where have we seen this before? Hmmmm...
Firstly, Airbus announced last week that production problems meant customers would have to wait longer than expected for their new aircraft.
[...]
Shares in the European aerospace giant EADS, which owns 80% of Airbus, plummeted, as airlines threatened to seek compensation or even to cancel their Airbus orders on news of the delays.

Then it got worse - as it emerged that one of EADS' two chief executives, Frenchman Noel Forgeard had sold 2.5m euros worth of EADS shares just weeks before the production delays were made public.

Members of his family, other EADS directors, and major investors also sold large numbers of shares
. Now French stock market regulators have launched an investigation.

Mr Forgeard is a former adviser to the French president, Jacques Chirac, and a close associate of prime minister Dominique de Villepin.
That just reeks of Enron. I guess assholes are the same everywhere.
