I am shocked and dismayed by the flippant reaction of some to this extremely important story which is further compounded by the report which followed it:

UPDATE: Ed Driscoll notes another strong contender, although I think the Travel exposé still takes the prize. In the Atlantic, Alice Ristroph laments the path of the total solar eclipse:

On August 21, 2017, a total solar eclipse will arrive mid-morning on the coast of Oregon. The moon’s shadow will be about 70 miles wide, and it will race across the country faster than the speed of sound, exiting the eastern seaboard shortly before 3 p.m. local time. It has been dubbed the Great American Eclipse, and along most of its path, there live almost no black people.

Presumably, this is not explained by the implicit bias of the solar system.

Whew! You had me wondering for a minute there, Alice.[end]

Good grief is the entire universe conspiring to make me ashamed I am a white American?
