I was following the news of handcuffing of Dr. Gates in Cambridge and was reading the comments by people. I can't believe the clear-cut division. Whites were standing behind the cop, and blacks including Mayor and Mr. President standing behind Dr. Gates. I don't know whose faults or mistakes were those. Prof. seems to be little arrogant while the cop also couldn't control the anger and handcuffed under the charge of disorderly conduct in public place from his PRIVATE property.

Then I saw another news/report of doctors' biased treatment depending on the race of patient. Scary, but probably not scarier than nepali racists.
