Full story: NPR

Transcript Enlarge Nancy Solomon Students discuss stereotypes in Melissa Cooper's sociology class at Columbia High School in Maplewood, N.J. Looking at pictures of people and guessing what they were like, students say a Latino-looking man looks like a "drug lord" and a white man in a suit looks smart.

Daily Horoscope for December 31

Libra

If you live with other people you have to resign yourself to the fact that you all want to do different things today. The more you urge togetherness, the more everyone will be determined under tonight's Full Moon to do their own thing even if it creates problems. Try to play this down as much as possible because it's also a lunar eclipse and getting angry won't solve anything; it may even make the situation worse. Maybe this is a chance for you to do what you want for a change, too? Anyway, enjoy yourself tonight, Libra because you deserve it!
