Michael Richards meets a broadcast audience.

lameautarch says he doesn't see how she retains her show. We will see. This country is in a completely different political 'atmosphere' (as Olbermann would say) than when Don Imus lost his job in 2007.

It's also important to note that Elias Abuelazam's victims viewed him as being 'white' - they're lumping men of Middle-eastern descent in with the rest of the Caucasians. Meanwhile, Abuelazam's neighbors did not do that; they assumed that others would view him as non-white, as they did. I wonder what box he checks on the interview forms, where he self-identifies?

IIRC, the official U.S. governmental definition of Caucasian includes those of Middle Eastern descent. I know it includes the upper portions of Africa.

I'll try to locate the aforementioned race & ethnicity classifications.
