George Floyd's death has sparked Black Lives Matter protests not just in the US but also in several other parts of the world, despite the COVID-19 pandemic. The civil rights laws were passed in America decades ago, but there still continues to be a deep-seated feeling that one group of people is innately superior to another. This feeling is expressed all around the world through discrimination along the lines of race, caste or ethnicity.
