Sexist toward Hillary Clinton others shouted. Not friendly to John McCain others insisted. Free passes to Joe Biden chided others. On the other end of the spectrum Mike Huckabee, Republican Arkansas governor a...

Wednesday, August 13, 2008. Racism in the 'Eyes' of the Beholder. Spain lost to the U.S. in the gold medal game in Olympic men's basketball. But the Spanish squad, its players and its management have a tainted legacy for the 2008 Games that is mark by more than their silver medal. Tainted with their racist act of taking team photograph where each member of the team took their fingers and pull his eyes in order to look, well, Chinese. Would a Mexican wearing a turban to appear Afghan . . . Would these be ...
