11 Nov 2008Leave it to the Daily show to be real about our new ‘post-racial’ world.
It’s amusing to me to think of how many of the white liberals in the audience probably have no idea what thehy’re laughing at.

The Wall Street Journal has an interesting piece today about a supposed trend in the working world — blacks are being passed over for positions as employers show favoritism towards Latino candidates:
This kind of case marks a shift from years past, when blacks were likely to seek legal action against employers who showed preferential treatment toward whites. The cases highlight mounting tension between Hispanics and blacks as they compete for resources and job opportunities.
Recently, the federal agency announced it also secured a $180,000 settlement from Zenith National Insurance Corp., a national workers-compensation specialist, to be divided among 10 blacks who applied for a mailroom job at its headquarters in Woodland Hills, Calif. The job was offered to a Latino man with no mailroom experience, according to the EEOC.
Rooney and “negro”: a question of intention

The hottest topic on the blogs today: CBS’ Andy Rooney’s proclamation on the Imus in the Morning show of his regard for the word “negro” to qualify individuals of African-American descent:
ROONEY: The word negro, which is a perfectly good word, it’s a strong word and a…a good word. I don’t see anything wrong with that.
On the blogs, I’ve read several people defending Rooney’s stance by saying that “negro” is used as a term for black people in Spanish-speaking countries. In Spanish, they say, it’s not offensive, so why should it be in English?
