So, the U.S. Olympic Trials are coming to Eugene, Oregon. It's creating quite a stir, and all kinds of fun is happening, including this . The volunteer "sensitivity training" part is true, and I don't know how much Fox News is exaggerating but...

Barbers? Soul food? "Black" churches? Speaking hip-hop?

Can we pull out any more racial stereotypes? How about we indicate where to find watermelons and crack, too?

This report is shameful and embarrassing. Thank God I moved out of Eugene.

Sad thing is, it wouldn't surprise me at all if Fox didn't exaggerate a single bit. Eugene has reached the point where "sensitivity" has gone so extreme that it is now the manifestation of the prejudiced thought that it sought to do away. I hope Fox is exaggerating, though, because the city-sponsored promotion of the trials starts off with a crowd chanting that "the whole world is watching." Indeed.
