Potpourri

My favorite category in Jeopardy is "Potpourri." You never know what you are going to get. Well, here is a potpourri of resources I've run across this week: you may even find one or two useful:

* Yesterday the Columbus Dispatch ran the editorial of NY Times columnist Nicholas Kristof. I often enjoy his articles, especially impressed by the global perspective he tends to write from. This particular article, "Our Racist, Sexist Selves" wasn't my favorite, but it did lead me to the two resources below that I found to be interesting.

* Racism and Sexism tests:

Finally, the below video I found very provocative and well done.
