    How about toxic waste dumping in Africa?

    A lot of western corporations have been dumping their poisonous crap in Africa because they can save a buck but its poisoning the groundwater, obliterating the soil (and thus hurting farmers), and making life miserable for locals.

    I'm not sure how you get an article on international trade affecting "minorities" because it obviously affects the majority in west Africa but they would be a minority in the west. But if you could clarify it would be a little easier.

    Thanks for the link but I think by minority she means minority in that country. She didn't really clarify it though. I wish that article mentioned women somehow cause then I could've used it.

    thanks for the article. It would be perfect but it is too old.
