Fatphobia, as well as racial stereotype, and the stereotype of the “perfect woman.” Two older women came in an hour late, after driving from Alabama 10 hours overnight through a storm.

Boyd's statements follow PepsiCo's announcement that it will no longer use the Aunt Jemima brand, long criticized as a racial stereotype, to sell pancake mix and syrup.

Then he confessed he had. In a rush of words, he admitted that, that very morning, he’d sold his business to the government. “The Brazilians get two crops [of maize] a year,” he said. “And their farmers get subsidies.” These days, he no longer received a big subsidy.

When markets opened up after apartheid ended, farms that had been economically viable suddenly weren’t. White farmers have been failing in huge numbers. Between 1994 and 2009, when Matshubeng got his farm, three successive white owners had failed to make any profit on it.Why does diversity matter? “Nature tells us that if you don’t have diversity, the species will die off, become weaker.

As president, though, Mandela started deferring to his white, corporate-friendly finance minister and sent his top brass to do training sessions at Goldman Sachs. Some leftist analysts interpreted these moves cynically – seeing them as a symptom of the corrupting effects of power. But Padayachee felt they arose “directly from our terror”.
