All whites look the same...

from Ludgar Schadomsky's blog, "Cape to Cairo" #6 on the Deutsche Welle website. (DW is the German international broadcaster.)

[To set up the following excerpt, Schadomsky has traveled to Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe and meets a local policeman]

Augustin is a tourist policeman. He is called Augustin because he was born in the month of August. He was sent here from Bulawayo a year ago and is trying to get used to the place . "The women in Bulawayo are more attractive" he says in a somewhat despondent tone. But he says he enjoys working at the Falls as "you meet interesting people from all over the world". On asking him which countries they come from, he thinks for a moment and then says he doesn't know because "all white people look the same".
