A great comment on systemic racism (and junk like that) on MetaFilter

Rage on the Right. The Year in Hate and Extremism. Hate groups are growing. Protecting the US president has presented the secret service with the greatest challenge in its history.

Switzerland bans Minarets. Seriously.

"Lou Jing was your average 20 year old woman from Shanghai, until being on Go! Oriental Angel, an American Idol like singing competition show, had to point out the obvious. Lou Jing is half Chinese, half African- America, something China apparently wasn't ready for."

I haven\'t gone through the thread, but it will either be interesting, or funny (in a laugh at the people on Slashdot sort of way).

A story of police brutality.

A discussion of the racism one finds in the coverage of the hurricane in New Orleans. (The link at the end to Boing Boing also covers another interesting aspect of the hurricane, namely that it seems the evacuation of the city was so poorly planned.)

This is ignorance taken to a whole other level. All the photos in this set, and the accompanying articles, are interesting.

Because, God knows a white person <strong>could not</stong> fly to North Korea and help them build missiles.

A undercover Jew has dinner with some racists.
