Hypersensitivity is spreading everywhere.

Ancient Americans (aka 1491), by Charles Mann, discusses the terms "Eskimo" and "Inuit" on page 341. It seems that neither term is welcomed by the entire group in question, which spans from Alaska to Greenland.

As for "Siamese twins", it is true that the phenomenon of conjoined twins is a general human trait and not specific to people from Siam. But why in the world would people from Siam feel offended by it?

While we are on the subject, the kingdom which used to call itself "Siam" (the name of the region) changed its name to "Thailand" in the 1930s as a declaration of ethnic prejudice. "Thaï" is the name of the majority ethnic group, so the name "Thailand" asserts that other ethnic groups there are subordinate. In other words, it stands for Thai supremacism.

A progressive candidate won the Democratic primary for senator in Tennessee.

For any Democrat to win there will be difficult, but I think a progressive has a better chance of inspiring support than a right-wing "centrist".

London thugs decided to search Ryan Colaço and his car for no obvious reason. They strip-searched him, found nothing, but still jailed him. They searched his car, too, and must have decided to search the inside of the glass of one window, because when he got it back that window had been smashed.

Oh, he faces charges of "resisting". Perhaps the thugs were getting fed up after searching him 20 times and never finding anything to make it worth while.

Arguing that requiring a voter to buy a stamp to mail in a ballot is a kind of poll tax, and thus unconstitutional.

Ironically, ballots that don't have stamps (because they are in states which prepay for mailing back ballots) run a risk of being rejected for not carrying a postmark.

This shows that the US hodgepodge of voting systems was not designed with the proper goal of helping every authorized voter to cast a ballot.
