I think I was not clear enough :(
ATM you and any guy with similar color has a disadvantage in finding a 
job, hence soon you will be previously disadvantaged. And my guess was 
that that would be logically correct, but highly unlikely to be 
acknowledged.

BTW Gail, a couple of weeks ago I met three students from Witwatersrand 
at a biomedical engineering conference. All non blacks, but that could 
be a coincidence. I am also involved somewhat with a summerschool in the 
hospital, of the 30 or attendants 10 or so come from SA, from the Cape 
Town area this time. Also at the conference, a friend of mine 
(Portuguese but born in Maputo) and me decided that it would be a good 
idea if the big triannual conference would go to africa. So we asked 
some friends in Cape Town if they would consider putting in a bid to 
organize it. If that works out I will be going to SA in ... 2015! Anyway 
there seems to be a disproportional lot of SA in my live recently.
