Round-up

1. Jonathan Kay at National Post is copying me! He's doing a weekly round-up of "phony racism" - that is, incidents which were billed as "racism" but in fact have non-racist explanations. Click here to see this week's digest.

2. I laughed at this review of the new Roland Emmerich movie, "10,000BC". It points out many of the blatant historical inaccuracies, which have been making me laugh since I first heard about this film months ago, but it also suggests that there is some kind of veiled racism in the plot. This latter is something that I will take with a pinch of salt having not actually seen the film, however.
