If you're in the racism industry, an icy chill has gone down your spine in 2009, with an African-American president and both major political parties run by black people.
As always, a psychologist will find an answer for how society can do those things and still be racist; it turns out you will be less biased against people of other races in your social group but you will still be prejudiced against people of other races you don't have beer with.

Yet even in mathematics there are disputes and one of them has long been Pi - or π, if you prefer. That's right, someone once may have insisted we teach the controversy about Pi, which is a delightful sort of irony.
Remember the good old days of new media? Trust the contributors, trust the audience. Those days are gone, my friends - if you work in old media.
