Race

Seth Stephens-Davidowitz presents a Google based argument on the role of racism in the 2012 Presidential Elections in the US.

There is the possibility, of course, that racial prejudice will play a smaller role in 2012 than it did in 2008, now that the country is familiar with a black president. Some recent events, though, suggest otherwise. I mentioned earlier that the rate of racially charged searches in West Virginia was No. 1 in the country and that the state showed a strong aversion to Mr. Obama in 2008. It recently held its Democratic presidential primary, in which Mr. Obama was challenged by a convicted felon. The felon, who is white, won 41 percent of the vote.

Stahlhelme

Hansi Flick trifft den richtigen Ton in seinem Kommentar über die kommenden Aufgaben bei der Fussball-EM:

Da können sich die Deutschen richtig freuen. Wenigstens geht es nicht gegen Israel. Ansonsten gilt: ich wünschen allen Gegnern der Deutschen Fußballnationalmannschaft viel Erfolg und drücke die Daumen für ein Vorrundenaus 2012!
