In both described cases, one \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tthe refusal of entry into a McDonalds store, the other the expulsion of a \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tcleaning lady from a bank, the moral courage of those affected had an impact on \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tthe outcome of theses injustices. In the first case, the woman who wanted to \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tbuy sandwiches in the fast food store for three Rroma children in Novi Sad \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tcomplained to the local ombudswomen. She in turn sued McDonalds and won. In the \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tsecond case, the cleaning lady turned to the media: The store manager, who had \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\texpelled Mrs Uskokovic from the bank, was put in the pillory of the media. \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tErnst sees the two incidents as examples of the importance of civil courage \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tagainst socially tolerated discrimination. Only through the commitment of each \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tand every person, can the exclusion of minorities be ended in the long term: <em style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px;\">\u201cThese are two unpleasant stories that \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tconfirm what is known or suspected about Roma discrimination in the Balkans (Mrs \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tUskokovic, the street cleaner from Nis, has a dark complexion, but it is \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tunclear whether she refers to herself as Roma). Therefore, they is nothing news. \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t[&#8230;] But what is crucial: citizens as Maja Rogic and Lidija Uskokovic give rise \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tto hope \u00a0\u2013 because they do not put \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tup with everything.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Ernst, Andreas (2014) Schluss mit Ducken und Achselzucken.
