Diversity at Work

In the days leading up to the elections, several mainstream and ethnic media sites have produced diversity-related stories about the presidential race. We've compiled a list of some of these resources and hope you'll add to it.

• Richard Prince of the Maynard Institute takes a thorough look at journalists of color covering election night for some of the major networks. At the bottom of the blog item is a long list of cross links.

• This column in Salon raises the odd phenomenon of bigots voting for Obama.

• This Slate video draws interesting parallels between Sen. Barack Obama's campaign and that of the fictional Matt Santos, another attractive politician of color.
  

• A cool Slate pop culture piece on black presidents as portrayed in the movies and on TV.
  

• A Washington Post column on black angst.

• Lots of interesting content on TheRoot.com, including:

• "Finally: Whatever the Outcome Tonight, We Are a Different Country."

• "No We Can't, White Folks: Five Things White People Shouldn't Do If Obama Wins."

• "No, We Can't, Black Folks: Five Things Black People Shouldn't Do If Obama Wins." 

• New America Media's home page features a variety of diversity-related election stories.

• EbonyJet.com has a slideshow featuring the 19 hottest Obama T-shirts. (You can't help but look.)
  

• "Is This Race a Referendum on Race?," The Chicago Tribune's "Exploring Race" blog.

• "What the Elections Mean," an "Anti-Racist Parent" blog item about a child's "vote" for Obama.
