Multiculturalism Brings Child Slavery

Posted by Dave Blount at December 29, 2008 7:50 AM

Yet another example of multiculturalism enriching our society:

The trafficking of children for domestic labor in the U.S. is an extension of an illegal but common practice in Africa. … The custom has led to the spread of trafficking, as well-to-do Africans accustomed to employing children immigrate to the U.S. Around one-third of the estimated 10,000 forced laborers in the United States are servants trapped behind the curtains of suburban homes, according to a study by the National Human Rights Center at the University of California at Berkeley and Free the Slaves, a nonprofit group.

I would point out the downside of child slavery, but I wouldn't want to be judgmental or ethnocentric.
