The government has betrayed asian women (uk, comment) — by Marius Hardut — last modified 2006-06-30 06:28

There are so many more reasons to consider this a badly executed consultation and decision. Many of the respondents felt naming and shaming of coercive parents would lead to communities being "unfairly labelled" and creating a negative stereotype. Such daft responses are not surprising once you consider that most of those opposed were middle-aged men considered to be our "community representatives". How can this negative stereotyping get any worse when honour killings litter the media? Should the kidnapped and run-away victims be gagged if they want to speak out? Perhaps most significantly this lost opportunity has turned a blind eye towards parent-sanctioned forced rape.

Did soviet collapse open door to modern day racism? (Russia) — by Marius Hardut — last modified 2006-07-05 22:58

Russian discrimination has long had an impact on ethnic and religious minorities, even as the USSR trumpeted concepts like the "friendship of nations" and the ideal of the "New Soviet Man." But the overt racial violence seen in modern-day Russia is something new. Some argue the collapse of the Soviet Union brought long-latent racism to the surface, by opening the door to uncontrolled migration, economic collapse, and the entrenched conflict in Chechnya.
