I am currently listening to two salvadorean men talk about their experience with police racially profiling them throughout northern virginia and it makes me sad. Perhaps I should give civil liberty lessons on the bus. I hate racist institutions.

I work with a Hmong girl who's had a hard time finding an apartment. She's had a lot of landlords brush her off, and one actually told her that they could only have an apartment on the first floor and didn't really give her a reason why. She's got decent credit (not sure about her husband) and good rental references, but no one's giving her a chance. She and her husband and their two kids are living in an apartment with family members right now, and it's really cramped, but she's having a really hard time moving out. It's not fair, really. I told her she should call, because I know there's a housing discrimination hotline in Wisconsin.
