<br /> Less than a year since America saw some rabid images of lawlessness in <keyword id="70822" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Ferguson">Ferguson</keyword>, <keyword id="108481" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Baltimore">Baltimore</keyword> has reached a boiling point. And, it’s not surprising that the so called ‘boiling point’ has been a simmering unrest since long. The open-and-shut case that happened right after Ferguson, in August 2014 where an African American youngster <keyword id="126859" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Michael-Brown">Michael Brown</keyword> was shot dead by the local police, Baltimore has been even more pronounced an incident.<br />
<br /> So, was the after-math a complete surprise? Definitely not; the incidents that followed the death of <keyword id="2831976" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="Freddie-Grey">Freddie Grey</keyword> have some sort of a pattern to them. Yes, this includes the riots too.<br />
<br />
After all, the land of milk and honey and all things nice has turned into some sort of a racist-zone since quite some time. Was the unrest simmering since long? Will America be dominated by those who have stigmas against their darker co-inhabitants just as some part of the world has? The answer seems to be an unsettling ‘perhaps’.<br />
<br />
When civil unrest entered the town of Baltimore in the largest American state of Maryland, it was some sort of a déjà vu that the nation had seen in another part of the country – Ferguson, Missouri; where an unarmed teenager was shot dead following a scuffle. FBI since then opened a civil rights investigation. Rioting and protests followed soon after, and allegations of racism were leveled against officers and the government at a higher level.<br />
<br /> With <keyword id="2540" type="POSITION" weightage="20" keywordseo="President">President</keyword> <keyword id="16284" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Obama">Obama</keyword> at the helm of affairs, racism in America was probably a bad word that was considered passé. But, that does not seem to be the case. Less than a year later, Baltimore is burning since the death of <keyword id="2819034" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="Freddie-Gray">Freddie Gray</keyword>, who sustained fatal injuries in police custody and breathed his last after slipping into coma.<br />
<br />
The city of Baltimore was largely peaceful till the funeral procession ended and the rituals were completed. Soon after, the protestors cried ‘racism’ and spilled out on streets. Obama and his team of officers dealt with them sternly. But then, the protestors wouldn’t back out.<br />
There are contradicting accounts that are floating on social media as to how the riots happened. While some call it the doing of a ‘bunch of teenagers who were itching to fight’, the others have a different take altogether. In their knowledge, and most of this is first-hand account, was the doing of police officers who had credible information of teenagers from the now riot-stricken neighbourhood that they were going to assemble, and ‘probably’ spill out on the roads. In their over enthusiastic preparation, the police officers in some ways, fuelled the clashes with their presence and over-preparedness of the situation. <br />
<br />
A single-mom of six children, in all her helplessness, became a picture of grim reality and an unequal America when she came to the spot of protest and beat up her son into leaving the protest march. She was candid, straight and simply a mother in her entire existence. “Freddie is gone. I don’t want my son to be another Freddie. I cannot afford it,” she told the reporters who filmed her pounding her son away from the protest site. How do things change even when you have an African American for the President of your country, when the ground reality continues unchanged, and unchallenged?<br />
<br />
Experts and political analysts have been trying to understand this prejudice and stigma associated with racism. While many sectors are engaged in promoting social equality of all races and people who have different skin colour, that racism is still a harmful and detrimental practice, is an evident factor.<br />
<br />
The aspects that play a role in building up racism in real life may be many – such as self-esteem, positive distinct, survival and dominance, among many; the social and political aspects are rather very different from the ones listed.<br />
<br />
Racism is a political statement often, which cries for attention and protection. It is not enough for America to feel glad that they have a man at the top to prove they are not racists. Now, that would be called tokenism and camouflage, if Obama on top can stand testimony of tolerance and equal rights to live in America, irrespective of the skin colour.<br />
<br />
Racism is about paying attention to the aspects of micro entities, and addressing them. It is not enough to make a law about anti-racist stances and forget about it when incidents that speak loudly of racism happen. Whether it is Ferguson or Baltimore, time has come for America to understand there is a problem at hand. And, this cannot be sorted out by feeling proud about Statue of Liberty alone. It is time the light from her torch, shone on America’s streets too, equally and equivocally.<br />

Dr. Shaun Murphy (played by Freddie Highmore) is autistic, something that in the show lends him preternatural medical abilities in a way that plays into the <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2018/dec/17/rain-man-myth-autistic-people-dustin-hoffman-savant" target="_blank" rel="noopener">autistic savant trope</a>.</p><p>Here's how "The Good Doctor" went viral, renewing a wave of discussion about the show's representation of autism.</p><h2><strong>Clips from the show first started trending on TikTok and Twitter in late April and early May</strong></h2><p>It's not atypical for seemingly random movies and TV shows to go viral thanks to TikTok. <a href="https://www.polygon.com/23716196/tiktok-movie-clips-turning-red-sully-arrival-streaming" target="_blank" rel="noopener"></a><a href="https://www.polygon.com/23716196/tiktok-movie-clips-turning-red-sully-arrival-streaming" target="_blank" rel="noopener">As Polygon recently reported</a>, there's an entire corner of the social-media platform that's dedicated to reuploading movie and TV clips, often with little to no context.

The Twitter upload, in turn sparked further memes and reactions — and criticism as well. <strong> </strong></p><p>After the "I am a surgeon" clip spread to Twitter, memes about Dr. Han began to abound.

In 2018, a <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/general-news/why-good-doctor-is-bad-medicine-autism-1098809/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">group of three doctors wrote in a guest column for The Hollywood Reporter</a> that the show continued a trend in portraying autism as a kind of "superpower," predominantly through white, male genius characters like the titular doctor. In the process, it leaves behind people with autism who don't match that depiction, they argued.</p><p>And amid the resurgent criticism, Sara Luterman, a caregiving reporter at The 19th who <a href="https://slate.com/arts/2017/12/with-the-good-doctor-autistic-protagonists-finally-have-the-freedom-to-be-jerks.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote about the show for Slate in 2017</a>, <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/2023/05/11/good-doctor-memes-autism/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told The Washington Post in May </a>that while she felt positive about the show when it premiered, she's since realized that there are other series with "better, fuller, more realistic shows of autistic people in them."</p><p>On Twitter, some shared clips mocking the way that "The Good Doctor" depicted Murphy's autism, with one person referring to the dramatized way graphics and medical information surround him as he thinks as Murphy's "autism powers."</p><p>Others pointed out the <a href="https://twitter.com/sitcomabed/status/1656268655393423360?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener">show's association with Autism Speaks</a>, an organization that's been criticized for <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2020/02/14/biggest-autism-advocacy-group-is-still-failing-too-many-autistic-people/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">perpetuating harmful narratives about autistic people</a> and <a href="https://autisticadvocacy.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/AutismSpeaksFlyer2022.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">failing to adequately serve or represent them.</a> Many <a href="https://twitter.com/LakesOfLotus/status/1656681868362915842?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener">raised concerns</a> about the fact that Highmore, the actor who plays Dr. Murphy, does not have autism. </p><p>While "The Good Doctor" has been on for years, this particular viral moment seemed to signify a whole swathe of people online becoming aware of network television, <a href="https://www.vulture.com/2023/05/the-good-doctor-im-a-surgeon-dr-han-meme-explained.html">as Bethy Squires wrote for Vulture</a>.

The median sales price climbed to $615,000, up from $605,000, according to the FHFA.</p><p>But the 1.65% increase was so small that 115% of the<strong> </strong>median is $707,250, below the 2023 base conforming-loan limit of $726,200, per the FHFA.

Fitted shorts</h2><p><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"><p class="source"><span>Ash Johnson / Thread</span></p></div><p></p></div></div></p><p>There's nothing worse than a guy in baggy shorts - apart from maybe <a href="http://uk.businessinsider.com/why-no-man-should-wear-cargo-shorts-2017-5">cargo shorts</a> (what are you even doing with all those pockets?).</p><p>So how high should your shorts rise?</p><p>"For me, the sweet spot is about an inch above the knee," Kemp says. "Push yourself and go for a shade you may not have considered before (pale blue, mint green for example; pastels are always a good place to start) or even go for a striped pair of seersucker fabric."</p><p>Tailored shorts will also be one of the most versatile items in your closet. "They're like suit trousers that have been snipped off, which means they go with everything from a blazer to a t-shirt," says fellow Thread stylist <a href="https://www.thread.com/tips/categories/jeans-and-trousers/four-ways-wear-tailored-shorts/">Alexander McCalla</a>.</p><p>"They should fit slim, but not skinny, so there's an inch or two of fabric around your thighs," he says, meaning your legs will have room to breathe.</p><p>For maximum versatility, McCalla recommends pairing your shorts with an Oxford shirt (pictured above), which is appropriate for most workplaces, drinks with friends, and even holidaywear.</p><h2>2.

3 essential summer items every guy should have in his closet, according to a stylist

<p><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table float_right"><div><div class="image on-image"></div><p></p></div></div>Commenters have argued that Baltimore has long been <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/these-maps-show-the-depth-of-baltimores-inequality-problem-2015-4">plagued with serious socioeconomic problems</a>, and that <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/theres-another-reason-why-freddie-grays-baltimore-neighborhood-is-so-angry-2015-4">these fed into the rage that boiled over in recent days</a> in the wake of the death of Freddie Grey after sustaining injuries while in police custody.</p><p>But Baltimore isn't alone in having a pattern of racial and economic segregation. We examined the data and found that many big US cities, like Baltimore, are riddled with poor, mostly minority neighborhoods.</p><p>We reviewed <a href="https://www.census.gov/geo/reference/gtc/gtc_bg.html">block group-level</a> data on race and income from the US Census Bureau's 2009-2013 <a href="http://www.census.gov/acs/www/">American Community Survey</a> estimates. We broke down neighborhoods into three categories based on the racial makeup of those neighborhoods: majority-minority block groups with fewer than one-third of residents self-identifying as non-Hispanic white, somewhat racially balanced block groups with non-Hispanic whites making up between one-third and two-thirds of the population, and majority-white block groups with over two-thirds of the population identifying as non-Hispanic white.</p><p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">Similarly, we classified neighborhoods as being low, medium, or high income, relative to the median income for the city or metro area as a whole. A block group where the median household income was less than 50% of the overall city's median income was considered low income, a block group with a median income between 50% and 150% of the overall median was middle-income, and a block group with median income above 150% of the overall city's median was high income.</span></p><p>Looking at these two characteristics, we then were <a href="http://www.joshuastevens.net/cartography/make-a-bivariate-choropleth-map/">able to classify a city's neighborhoods on both minority population and income level into one of nine overall categories</a>. We then made maps of six big cities to see what patterns of racial and economic segregation or integration exist in each.</p><h2>Baltimore</h2><p><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table click-to-enlarge"><div><div class="image"><a title_source="Business Insider/Andy Kiersz, data from US Census Bureau" title_caption="" class="zoomin" href="https://static-ssl.businessinsider.com/image/5543c2c869bedd8c3901cedf-960/baltimore-map.png"><span class="sprites click-to-enlarge-icon" title="Click to enlarge"></span></a><p class="source"><span>Business Insider/Andy Kiersz, data from US Census Bureau</span></p></div><p></p></div></div></p><p>Baltimore city sits in the center of this map. The dark blue neighborhoods are neighborhoods that are both low-income and predominantly non-white. Western suburbs in Baltimore County have a large number of teal block groups, indicating middle-income minority neighborhoods. Meanwhile, the eastern suburbs are dominated by middle-income mostly white neighborhoods, indicated in pink. To the north are several light grey mostly white, high-income neighborhoods.</p><h2>New York</h2><p><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table click-to-enlarge"><div><div class="image"><a title_source="Business Insider/Andy Kiersz, data from US Census Bureau" title_caption="" class="zoomin" href="https://static-ssl.businessinsider.com/image/5543c46f6bb3f75f7d01cee1-960/nyc-map.png"><span class="sprites click-to-enlarge-icon" title="Click to enlarge"></span></a><p class="source"><span>Business Insider/Andy Kiersz, data from US Census Bureau</span></p></div><p></p></div></div></p><p>New York also has areas of serious economic and racial segregation. Several block groups in the Bronx, upper Manhattan, and East Brooklyn in particular fall into the low-income, high-minority proportion bracket. Eastern Queens is home to many middle- and upper-income minority block groups.
