		<description><![CDATA[Artificial rivalries between offensively similar elite centers of privilege are noxious enough in their own right, but when they foster elitism and prejudice, they become dangerous. In last Friday&#8217;s edition of YDN, Bijan Aboutorabi argues that, in withdrawing a t-shirt design calling the rival-but-mirror-image team &#8220;sissies,&#8221; a university committee tasked with facilitating this crass competition [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For the most part, public and explicit expressions of extreme hate or animosity towards racialized groups of people are pretty easy to identify as wrong. Despite this, in certain spaces, the infamous &#8216;harmless racist joke&#8217; persists because, as the defender says, it is not to be taken as a serious communication of ill-will. Examples of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Racism is nothing more than a mistake in analysis, and a logical error. It is not racist, as is often believed, to harbor malice towards another group of people. It is simply hateful. Considering that group of people to be a group worthy of any one feeling in the first place is what is racist. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[An abridged version of this post was submitted to the Daily Cal. They printed a further modified version on July 16, 2007, under a misleading headline &#8220;We Have Nothing to Prove to America,&#8221; as if 1) I am a Muslim and 2) I make any pretenses about representing Muslims.

		<description><![CDATA[This post was prepared for a new blog tracking the right of migrants in the Middle East, Migrant-Rights.org. Migrant-Rights.org is an initiative spearheaded by Esra&#8217;a al-Shafei, a Bahraini activist who also founded MidEastYouth.com and FreeKareem.org.

		<description><![CDATA[The right in America is not Islamophobic. In fact, it often goes to special lengths to emphasize its impartiality towards the Muslim faith. In the March 2007 edition of the California Patriot, for example, Aditya Kashap confirms suspicions that there are good Muslims somewhere in the world: &#8220;it is quite obvious to me that most [...]]]></description>

Others reported seeing them in places around the Bay Area. The stated goal of BlueStarPR is to &#8220;shape public opinion through knowledge and understanding&#8221; by producing &#8220;positive and educational posters, advertisements, [...]]]></description>
