Russia is wary of listening to America's views on tolerance and even when I am trying to explain the difference between "Afro-American" and "nigger," Russians sometimes make me feel as though I am a cultural imperialist.

"Museveni is a nigger like Mobutu," Kabila says of his onetime ally. "He's an exploiter." Says Museveni: "Kabila was always weak, but I didn't know he would also be so treacherous...
...green card and no money, couldn't attend college. I spoke with Steve, who had felt the sting of anti-Iranian racism, but as a recruiter for the Berkeley College Republicans, he nonetheless worked frats in which "minorities are not welcome."
