Interesting

There's been a lot about the flickr set that supposedly showed bias in reporting of the looting in New Orleans. When African-Americans were shown in images, certain news agencies called it 'looting' and with whites it was 'finding'.

It doesn't take a genius to see that many of the people left behind in New Orleans were the poor and many, of course, were African-American.

In regards to my last post, this is an interesting article about the imbalance of gender in tsunami deaths from Wikipedia in March.
