stormdogFrom some class reading tonight on indigenous people's movements. "Beijing’s official stance is that all ethnic groups in China, including the majority Han, are indigenous; hence, the term does not apply." Well, how convenient for them.

Also, were you aware that a lot of chocolate made from beans grown in Cote d'Ivoir (which produces something like half of the world's chocolate these days) involves labor of enslaved children on the cacao plantations? I was not, until today as I read about chocolate's history and production. Something to keep in mind while shopping for chocolate. And even more reason to moderate consumption and stick to the much yummier higher end bars that aren't contributing to crimes against humanity.
