| | | |  |  | | Candid conversations about identity in 21st-century America. | | | | | | | Some journalists covering Russia's invasion of Ukraine have been criticized for the way they've called attention to the fact that the conflict is playing out in a country of mostly White people. This is the type of violence, some have suggested, that one would expect in the Middle East, not in Europe. One BBC commenter made a point to say how he was personally troubled by images of "European people with blue eyes and blonde hair dying." A CBS correspondent said Ukraine wasn't "like Iraq and Afghanistan" but instead was "relatively civilized." The Arab and Middle Eastern Journalists Association issued a statement rejecting "orientalist and racist implications that any population or country is 'uncivilized.'" Sarah Ellison and Travis M. Andrews delve into what see as a troubling trend in how journalists and commentators are discussing the war. Also in this edition, our colleague Reis Thebault takes a look at the enduring impact of Trayvon Martin's death 10 years later. Thanks for reading!
