Monday, Nov. 3, 2008 Europe has a long wait for its Obama MONTFERMEIL, France (AP) - Where is Europe's Barack Obama? Not only are droves of Europeans hoping for a victory by the U.S. Democratic presidential candidate, many are asking when France, Germany or Britain will get a chance to cast a ballot for a leader from their own burgeoning minorities. The answer: not any time soon. "Obama is rather far away. It's a bit of a fiction here, a bit of a dream," said Kadar Mkalache, tending a stand at the weekly market in Les Bosquets, a tough housing project in Montfermeil northeast of Paris. Born in France 48 years ago of Algerian descent, Mkalache said he's a French citizen who doesn't feel French - "not at all." Still, Mkalache, who has an 18-year-old son, said Obama "could bring a ray of hope." Discrimination is only one reason that citizens of immigrant origin are unlikely to soon produce a leader able to crack the system. Another is that the Old World is relatively new to the issue of minorities of color. "Obama hasn't happened overnight," said Danny Sriskandarajah of the Institute for Public Policy Research in Britain. "It took generations of minority activism in the U.S. to create this space and develop that sort of political acumen ... which is largely absent from Europe." In Spain, a magnet for migrants from north and subSaharan Africa, most members of visibly distinct minorities are still in their first generation. Elsewhere, they mainly go back three generations at most. The changing face of some other European countries, like Britain or France, often reflects their colonial past: Their immigrants come from countries they once ruled, and color barriers remain formidable. In Britain, minorities - at least 8 percent of the population - hold only 15 of 646 parliamentary seats. However, a black woman, Baroness Scotland, holds the post of attorney general - the highest-ranking minority in British government. In France, where there are an estimated 5 million Muslims, mainly from North Africa, and millions more blacks, there is only one black lawmaker in the 577-seat National Assembly, who was born in the French Caribbean island of Guadeloupe. The upper house has four senators with roots in North Africa. Minorities in Germany's Bundestag hold 10 of 612 seats, although a politician of Turkish origin, Cem Ozdemir, is about to become the first to take the helm of a political party, co-leading the Green Party. Meanwhile, heavily immigrant Rotterdam, one of Holland's biggest cities, is getting a Moroccan-born mayor. In the United States, racial tensions still fester after the long civil-rights struggles of the '50s and '60s but minority groups are part of the political mainstream. With Obama, Sriskandarajah said, "We are seeing, I think, in America the maturity of minority politics." "Obama-mania" has swept countries like Germany, Britain and France. But the minorities remain trapped in political infancy. In France, the mother country of "liberty, equality, fraternity," discrimination against "visible minorities" is often TERRY FLEMING A N D HIS DAUGHTER Rainah,4( wait for a rally by Democratic presidential candidate Sen.

McDougall, concluded in a statement from the U.N. media office after a visit to France a year ago that it was "widespread, entrenched and institutionalized," complicating any leap over the race barrier. Despair among immigrants blamed on discrimination seeded riots three years ago in places like Montfermeil. Yet France is among European nations which have successfully integrated its white immigrants. Example: President Nicolas Sarkozy's father was born in Hungary. "Such a path is unimaginable for a black in France," said Patrick Lozes, born in the West African nation of Benin and head of the Representative Council of Black Associations, Murdoch: China, India will reshape the world SYDNEY, Australia (AP) - Media tycoon Rupert Murdoch says the ongoing metamorphosis of China and India from historic backwaters into economic powers will help reshape the world in the next few decades.

In the first of a series of speeches in his birth country of Australia, Murdoch spoke Sunday of "the great transformation we've seen in the past few decades, the unleashing of human talent and ability across our world, and the golden age for humankind that I see just around the corner." He said China and India are great countries whose people are only recently emerging from long histories of being "incarcerated by communism or caste." The rise of their economies is creating a new middle class that would be three billion strong within 30 years and that is setting a new benchmark for global competitiveness. "The world has never seen this kind of advance before," Murdoch said. "These are people who have known deprivation. These are people who are intent on developing their skills, improving their lives and showing the world what they can do." Murdoch, whose New Yorkbased conglomerate includes Twentieth Century Fox, Fox News Channel, Dow Jones & Co. as well as newspaper stables in Australia and Britain and the online networking site MySpace, described the global financial crisis as one of many challenges facing Australia. He urged Australia to embrace internationalism and touched on a range of global issues, from international security to the commercial opportunities offered by the world's need for cleaner energyMurdoch's remarks came in the first of six lectures to be sent out on radio nationally by the Australian Broadcasting Corp. - this year's edition of an annual series of talks by prominent Australians. Murdoch said that in another speech he would give his opinions on the future of newspapers, which are suffering a severe downturn, especially in the United States, as advertising revenue is lost to the Internet. statesman.usu.edu Srgettj ng~ aanraf htejrfi Help wanted Orphanage volunteers needed in Ecuador year-round.
