Gustave, that article provided it own answer. It wasn't "prejudice" (although possible), but fear of AIDS that provoked throwing their blood away. Ethiopian immigrants are 50 times as likely to carry HIV as other Israelis, and it is international convention to reject donations from members of high-risk groups. The Ethiopians weren't turned away at blood banks because paternalistic officials wanted to spare them embarrassment." Hawkmoon
