Was there any apology to the Serbs after the Bosnian Muslim woman claiming she was raped by Serbs gave birth to a black child, found to be fathered by a French UN officer?
Perhaps if it was a white UN officer people would still hold up that tragic story of the poor Bosniak woman with the baby of a Serbian warcriminal as "proof" of warcrimes. People would be asking for updates of the story, hanging on the woman's every word of suffering. Saying she was such a saint to find in her heart to raise the child without blame. "I couldn't do that," they'd say, "Bosniaks are strong people, the proof is in this story...but damn those evil Serbs!"
People really fall for stories like these. It is amazing how easy it is to get people to readily believe these types of stories without genuine proof. I think using the emotional angle gets people's guard down and makes them remember the story and retain the (false) impression - perhaps for life.
