    Can't wait for the 2626 WC flood of suspicious foreigners. Man, I love to get a copy of the security cams hard drives during that period.

    This is why "if you see something, say something" is such bullshit. Lots of folks see a POC and think they're looking at a criminal. The only surprise in this story is it was East Asians instead of middle easterners or hispanics or blacks.

    Reagan even managed to drop "law and order" in his response.

    Biden has been on the right side of most issues for a long time. He was running for President when I was in college. A long long time ago.

    I saw that on The Daily Show. It is just amazing that they "didn't see it in the design."

    Trevor Noah stated that the Germans need to avoid all "right angles" from now on, only curves should be allowed.

    Everyone hears what they want to hear I guess.

    I guess your fears just take over, the Alaska employee thinking suspicious means looking a certain way and people panicking and hearing things.

    So should this level of racism actually be a sign of mental dysfunction?
    and would overt acts of racism decrease if people who were delusional about there being different races with different qualities di better under a psychiatric regimen?

    https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elisabeth_Samson Far more elaboreted contents, but in Dutch.
    Summerized:
    She was a black woman in Surinam, born in 1715. She was a free black woman with entrepreneurial gifts. She at a given moment was even richer than the Gouvernor of Surinam and already a millionair in those days.
    She had several plantations and at a given moment fell in love with a white man. However the gouvernor/authorities didnot permit the marriage she wanted. So she went to the Netherlands and sued the Surinam gouvernment.
    The Dutch court concluded the law said nothing about colour or race, so she was granted her wish to marry. Unfortunately her lover died before they could marry.
    She actually herselve owned slaves. So in Surinam/Dutch black community they have mixed feelings, is she an emancipation role model or is she part of the slavery system.

    The racism coming outta Europe has a distinct garlic flavor

    An Italian TV pundit has been widely condemned and banned from channel TopCalcio24 after a racially-tinged comment about current Inter Milan and former Manchester United striker Romelu Lukaku.

    Luciano Passirani, a guest commentator on the show, said of the striker: 'If they go one-on-one with you you're dead, you fall to the ground. You're alright if you have ten bananas to give him to eat, otherwise...'.

    The director of the station, Fabio Ravezzani, went on air almost immediately after the comments were made and apologised before clarifying that Passirani would not be allowed on the network ever again.

    Zut alors! Un raciste au Canada? Surement pas possible! To be fair, because of the exchange rate, he's only like 78% racist compared to Americans.

    I've been thinking about, but haven't read about it in too much detail. Initially, my thoughts were "What the hell was he thinking?" (IOW, he was using his White privilege.) On the other hand, he seemingly has owned the act as having been done and being wrong.
