Black Woman Offered White Foot
Tue Aug 26,10:24 AM ET
LONDON (Reuters) - A black woman due to have her lower leg amputated was offered a white false foot and told she would have to pay extra if she wanted one that matched her skin. . .
She would have to pay about $4,725 for a prosthetic limb that matched her skin color. The cost of the white foot would have been covered by the National Health Service.

she could always spray paint her false foot black. does it matter anyway? it's just the foot, not the whole leg from thigh to toe... the only minus is that you can't walk around barefoot (i'd scream in absolute horror at that) and you can't wear sandals.
