Round-up

1. One of Boris Johnson's senior advisers has quit after he said Caribbean immigrants should go home "if they don't like it here".

And he's absolutely right (in what he says, that is, not in quitting).

2. Naomi Campbell says a racist slur caused her to lash out while boarding a Los Angeles-bound British Airways flight from London's Heathrow Airport two months ago. The supermodel, who pleaded guilty Friday to kicking, spitting and swearing at two police officers, told Sky News that she regrets her behavior toward the cops, but has no love for the airline after someone on board referred to her as a "Golliwog."

Racial slurs are to be condemned, of course, but I rather suspect that this was simply fabricated.

3. RAW Watch - "Racism Alive and Well in SA varsities"
