Ford Controversy
Ford were advertising a promotional photograph
showing multiracial employment within the company.
Then I looked and realised all their faces had
been changed. We were all wearing our own clothes
but out faces were different and without
exception white.
Ford there was absolutely no racial motive. I
apologise again for any offence.

people they do not know or understand.
Reasons for Prejudice Discrimination
Using people as scapegoats- people often pick on
other people to blame when something goes wrong.
Racism Today
Fear- people feel threatened by something strange
and new.
Selfishness Greed- sometimes a nation
persecutes a group of people for its own ends
