Racism against Asian-Americans is at a pandemic high
There have been plenty of news stories about hate crimes against Asian-Americans. Stupid whites (and some Hispanics and blacks, too) have blamed them for Covid-19. They have nothing to do with it. And it’s getting worse. “More Americans are now blaming Asian Americans for Covid-19 than a[...]
Sorry you moved to a red state?

Guerneville, pop. 4500, is a northern California ex-logging town that today lives on tourism, especially LGBQT visitors, whom it caters to. That made it a target of anti-gay protesters. So the local residents circled the wagons and ran off the interlopers with gaily colored pizza boxes. Read the hea[...]

Is transgender sports a real problem?
