The Media Minder is a copy editor at one of America's largest daily newspapers. He has over 12 years of experience in print journalism, at newspapers both small and large. He runs one of the more interesting weblogs: Media Minded. Because he posts a lot from and about work, he tries to remain anonymous.

Probably the most thoughtful series I've seen in the Blogosophere lately has been his Profiles In Discourage series, which examines how race-baiting and lock-step political conformity in the name of "diversity" have stifled creativity and created dishonest reporting in some of America's news rooms. Read Part I, then just look to the right for links to later parts. He's up to 4 installments now, and all are worth your time.

If you've ever wondered why so many people are increasingly given to shuddering at the utterance of the word "diversity," maybe this'll give you a clue.
