I figured "The Pursuit of Hapa-ness," Jeff Yang's latest Asian Pop column for the San Francisco Chronicle, would look good on here today. (Bonus-round link is Henry Yu's "Tiger Woods at the Center of History: Looking Back at the Twentieth Century through the Lenses of Race, Sports, and Mass Consumption" -- especially pages 17-24.)
Also: E.J. Kessler's Forward article "Two Urban Jewish Democrats Eyeing 'Black Seats' in Congress," Bob Nightengale's USA Today article "Reasons for Bonds' bad image split between steroids and racism," Karen Gutiérrez's Cincinnati Enquirer article "Play uses slurs to mock stereotypes," Rod Watson's Buffalo News editorial "Film speaks to slavery's bitter legacy," and (via ex-co-worker Matt Friedrichs) a three-fer from the Hartford Courant: Jim Farrell's article "Leaving Biracial Children at a Loss" Sasha Debevec-McKenney's essay "Refusing to Choose One Racial Box" and Joel Lang's NE Magazine article "Coloring Our World
Brouhaha At A Hartford Magnate School Unwittingly Reveals The Fallacy Of Race."
