Tension in the air?

Interesting article on Boston's racial diversity from the Boston Globe. My thoughts? Boston isn't much different from any other big city. You're going to have mixed neighborhoods and you're going to have have neighborhoods with all black people, all white people, all asian people, all spanish people, etc. It doesn't necessarily mean there is racial tension. I feel no tension at all for the most part. And if I ever do chance upon an incident of racial tension, I dmn sure won't just sit there quietly. Issues are get resolved once they get addressed. If that restaurant ain't acting right; make them act right.

And for some reason, I just cannot stand phrases like this:

The 2000 Census declared Boston to be a city where a majority of residents are minorities

An oxymoron at work? It just sounds stupid to me. At least say something like a majority of residents are people of color or something a littleemore sensible. Geesh.

The Celtics took an L last night to the NJ Nets and let them slip past Cleveland for the final spot in the playoffs. Whoever fired Paul Silas is the real person who should be blamed. Point blank. So here are some requests...can we stop 1) firing Black coaches, 2) referring to current ballplayers as the hip-hop generation, and 3) exonerating catholic priests. Please, do it for th sanity of humanity.
