[A bit of background for the non South African reader of my blog (my auntie in London): The debate is currently raging in South Africa over whether or not the South African National Blood Service should be able to use racial profiling as one of the factors in determining the risk of a particular blood donor having HIV.]

This is a serious topic, i know, but this comment from Chris Roper had me rolling (from his News24 column)...

“Still, as empathetic as we want to be here, the acid test is - if Manto Tshabalala-Msimang happened to be in a car crash, and was given the choice of blood that had undergone stringent safety checks, or blood that was politically correct, which would she choose? You're right, it was a trick question: the answer is Garlic.”

[Never mind auntie, it is a South African insider type thing]
