I hate saris.

The Army published new regulations Monday regarding how women can wear their hair when in uniform, and women are already up in arms. Specifically, thousands of minority women who say the service is discriminating against "ethnic" hairstyles.

Voter ID legislation is notorious for making it difficult for minorities, the poor, and basically anyone who might not vote Republican to vote at all. But don't tell that to Wisconsin State Senator Glenn Grothman! As far as he's concerned, if you didn't vote, you just didn't want it enough.

The House Republicans are holding their annual winter retreat in quaint tourist village Williamsburg, Virginia, this weekend in order to recuperate and prepare for upcoming legislative battles. Besides partaking in discussions about the debt ceiling and gun restrictions, GOP congressmen and women will also be getting schooled in the fine art of how to have "successful communication with minorities and women."

Between July 2010 and July 2011, non-white births outnumbered white births 50.4% to 49.6%, according to Census Bureau data released Thursday [NY Times link].

In a move that could potentially deprive future generations of racists their token minority friends, the Supreme Court is set to reexamine the legality of affirmative action programs this fall.

What is up with the white people and their refusal to spawn these days? There is such a severe lack of pasty procreation that now, for the first time ever, the majority of new babies are being popped out by The Minorities. The white supremacists warned us about this, but nobody listened!

In your sweltering Wednesday media column: the racial media gap unveiled, Chris Jones has a new column, NOTW apologizes to Sienna Miller, NBC gets the Olympics forever, and Bob Herbert gets a job.

Even when Democrats' fortunes tumble spectacularly in the short-term, the party can always remind itself that national demographic trends favor them in the end. Many, many old white people will die soon enough. This generation's youth voters are lopsidedly liberal. Meanwhile, Hispanics — who've voted strongly for Democrats in the last two elections after mainstream Republican rhetoric took a sharply nativist turn in 2007 — will occupy a larger and ever growing percentage of the American population. Throw in reliable support from 80-90% of African Americans, and the Democratic party could be dominant in the not-too-distant future.

Republican campaigners and organizations are goin' nuts today over comments by Democratic Rep. Paul Kanjorski, where it looks like he's saying "minorities" aren't "average, good American people." Not really what he's saying, though, is the thing.

Minorities in NYC are nine times more likely than whites to be stopped and frisked by cops—but no more likely to be arrested. This proves that minorities are suspicious characters. And lo, Andrea Peyser spies suspicious Muslins, praying suspiciously!

Superfamous Bollywood star Shahrukh Khan was racially profiled in the USA! For Indians, it's big news. But for Americans, it's unsettling—where do Indians fall on the "Racial Profile Outrage" scale? A complete cross-racial guide for you!
