Shall race play a part in the trial of Oscar Pistorius?

There doesnt seem to be any racial content in this case. The white minority population of South Africa are usually Africaans,of Dutch decent.They were the "Boers" (Farmers) who Britain fought in the Boer war of 1899-1902 in which my Grandfather fought in a Yorkshire regiment.

All in this case seem to be white. They dont have a Jury system so the verdict will be up to the Judge trying the case.We dont yet know if he or she will be Black, White or what ?

I note another answerer has told members the victim was Jewish,

It is already playing a major part, but not in the way many are thinking.

She was Jewish, and so has the majority of the media on her side.

He is Boer, a White Supremacist culture, which may indicate why he got bail.

.

It already has, because even if Pistorius' story is true, he's still a killer, who killed with intent. So the fact he got bail is already an insane thing to happen.

A black killer, would've NEVER gotten bail.

It shouldn't, but I suspect someone will portray it as such. Especially if he is found not guilty to First Degree Murder.

What race? Both white!

He is for the high jump!

Yes, perhaps it will become an olympic event.

should it?

I can think of many prejudices that may come into play but race is not one of them

Isnt that a thing of the past (allegedly), besides hes white.

No.
