- White trash is the new ghetto fabulous. I hear cross-burning is poised for a comeback too. [MSNBC]

- According to the New York Times’ puff piece on pervy fashion magnate Dov Charney, it’s “edgy” to use minorities in ad campaigns. [New York Times]
- Hard up for a date? Then lower your standards, or, y’know, do the unthinkable and cross color lines. [Miami Herald]
