I blame Carmen.
She has decided Racialicious needs to be on Twitter.
So now I’m on Twitter. Well, technically we. The official Racialicious Twitter feed is now live.
Add us if you’d like.
(And why no, I have no idea how I am going to communicate in 140 characters when our normal blog [...]

The un-anointed are always surprised at how good Filipino food is, offering well-meaning but condescending compliments I’ve long learned to accept with a smile and a lighthearted “I told you so.” Probably has a lot to do with that old stereotype that we Filipinos love dogs. For [...]

When Frank Miller’s “300″ film was released, I was absolutely outraged by the racist content of the film and more so at the insensitivity of movie-goers who simply argued “it’s just a movie.” Later on, I would hear these same individuals say, “The movie makes you [...]

I was on CNN this Saturday, along with civil rights pioneer Dr. Mary Frances Berry and blogger Marisa Treviño, to discuss Attorney General Eric Holder’s comments last week.
Here’s the video:

I was also on NPR News & Notes yesterday (for probably the last time ever before they cancel the show!) to discuss [...]

Here are a couple items I’ve come across in my internet reading.
Valleywag: Was an ‘Anarcho-Transexual Afro-Chicano’ Behind the IM Worm?

Yesterday’s ViddyHo worm, which spread over Google Talk and Gmail, has been linked by some to Hoan Ton-That, a San Francisco software developer. A very San Francisco software developer.

In New York magazine’s Spring Fashion issue, there are six feature stories on clothes, designers, and models including a story on a group of tenderfoot but fresh-faced white male models (”Fashion Week’s handsome rookies”), an interview with style icon Kate Moss on her clothing line at the much-anticipated [...]

Since the turn of the 21st century, China has begun making another ‘Great Leap Forward’ in terms of modernization and putting itself in the world’s spotlight.
We got a glimpse of just how much it has progressed during the recently concluded Beijing Games, and its space program [...]

Regular reader Elton Joe recently sent around a Facebook message around a spate of comments over at Digg, about a New York Times opinion piece inspired by Eric Holder’s comments about being “a nation of cowards.”
After reading through the normal comments accompanying a piece about race – blacks are the real racists, an [...]

This post’s title is a rhetorical question. Of course poor whites exist, but not that you’d know so if you’re informed by the mainstream media. While Ronald Reagan was successful in painting urban black women as “welfare queens”, whites receive nearly 2/3 of all welfare benefits [...]

Restructure turns an eye to “What PoC Do: Restrain Ourselves“:
The people who say these things appear to think that racism occurs rarely, and that when a non-white person complains about allegedly “trivial” instances of racism, it means that she is like a young child who hasn’t yet learned that not everyone in the world [...]

Before I utter any statements of depth in this piece, I have to present a bias. Though not meant to offend those who believe in proselytizing, I find myself firmly standing on the side of those against it. If you feel that religion and/or a faith tradition of some sort is [...]

It is a strange feeling to walk down the streets of New York these days. Though the hustle and bustle of commerce may still swarm all about you, it is noticeably quieter than usual. And though the sub-zero wind chills may easily explain why only the [...]
