AZ’s SB 1070, the new immigration law
As suggested-by-proxy by my ver intelligent mother, I finally read this bill, which is really short. I’m no law expert by any, any, any stretch, but I’m not sure what some of my conservative friends are talking about - there’s little context that reduces how racist this is. The total lack of a definition for “reasonable suspicion” is clearly intentional since this is the only place it is really discussed.

I post this not only because it’s great and been in my head for weeks, but because it makes me wonder if the phrase “Ginger” is becoming really mainstream in the US. I mean more dominant than “red head”. And it’s kind of a negative phrase too? Based on this midly NSFW ad among many others, I get the impression Gingers are at the bottom of the hair castes in Australia and I think the stigma is spreading.
“Horne, a Republican running for attorney general, said the program promotes “ethnic chauvinism” and racial resentment toward whites while segregating students by race. He’s been trying to restrict it ever since he learned that Hispanic civil rights activist Dolores Huerta told students in 2006 that “Republicans hate Latinos.”

in the article in which Arizona’s State Schools Chief is quoted defending the decision to ban ethnic studies classes in public schools.
Trying to prove that Republicans aren’t racist by banning classes focused on Latino history is NOT AT ALL PROVING THEIR POINT, Tom. The idiocy here is astounding.
