I was going to roll this video up in my next linkspam, but you know, I think it's important enough to post by itself.

Jay Smooth's How To Tell Someone They Sound Racist



(Half of you already have seen this, and, in fact, I got that link from a quarter of you in the first place. But it's worth it for the other half of you. Also! It's short, it's easy to comprehend, and it's funny, on top of being important and useful. So you don't need to wait until you can handle Heavy Shit to watch this.)

And if you want to go one step further: How Not To Be Insane When Accused Of Racism, also important as hell.

This is totally fascinating. International health, unexpected statistics, context, and debunking myths about the world.

EDIT: Courtesy of [livejournal.com profile] mbrubeck, the sequel, which is also excellent, nuances the original speech in a lot of interesting ways, and has an awesome conclusion (watch all the way to the end). And you can play with the software he uses. (So apparently this is a pretty old presentation, but... oh well! I still think it's cool.)
