Round-up

1. Jews in Melbourne feel physically unsafe due to rising violent anti-Semitism.

2. There is not too much fundamentally wrongheaded in this article about the concept of a "racist bone" - that is, people of the older generation passing down their racism to the younger generation. But I did take major exception in particular to the first paragraph:

"Is there such a thing as a racist bone? You hear the saying a lot – “He didn’t have a racist bone in him” – and it’s usually associated with someone who has murdered someone else. In all honesty, it’s usually associated with some white someone murdering some black someone. So it begs the question – is there a racist bone?"

Here the author seems unwilling to consider the fact that there may also be a "racist bone" among black people. Why is this? Does the author subscribe to the tired PC assumption that only white people can be racist? Does she believe that racism is genetically woven into white people rather than black or any other race?
