As of this moment, no investigations have been conducted. Sgt. Anthony Brown of the University police department said because spray chalk and stencils were used, no permanent damages have been made, thereby omitting any type of criminal investigation.

One very sneaky approach the ultra-PC crowd uses is to bring a period of history into today's context, then try to treat it as if it happened yesterday, or is happening today. (Continued…)

There's no good predictor for how long it takes a society to progress past old hatreds. Your British example is a good one, but our attitudes toward Japanese may be a better one. (Continued…)
