Casual Anti-Semitism: Was eating at a local Indian spot recently and got to chatting with the owner (it was a slow afternoon for them). A really nice, funny guy. Talk of the upcoming US Elections. He: "Obama won't win. You know why? Because the Jews won't let him win." I didn't know what to say. It spilled out of his mouth as simply as if he had said, " You know why I own a restaurant? Because I like to serve food." Needless to say, I've found it impossible to go back.

After some of the tactics the Clinton campaign tried in the primary, this is not an unreasonable point, but should be qualified as "Israel lobby". Of course, that's probably not precisely what he meant.

Most frustrating thing about the "black hole" video clip is that the anchors were too cowed to inject an explicit opinion or to state the objective fact that there is no nor has there ever been a racial connotation to that term.

Racism in spain

It's seriously weird, the Spanish thing. A few weeks ago I was DJing at our night and I went to the bathroom, which is unisex, where there's a bathroom attendant guy, Simon, who is black. A Spanish guy and his girlfriend were ahead of me in the queue and as if out of boredom they started kind of taunting him and riling him and going "Africa, Africa......" etc.

Was just the most bizarre and fucking nasty racism from people who looked like students, I felt so angry I ended up telling the bouncer, who kicked them out.
