Thank you for this!

Man charged with hate crime following slurs, attack on clerk | Seattle PI

It was not just a thought, since the suspect expressed speech. Expression is not always protected under the First Amendment, such as shouting "fire" in a crowded theater, planting a burning cross on someone's lawn, or speaking "fighting words". The expression with the intent to harm is a form of terrorism. In this case, it was directed toward a specific class, though the suspect was too ignorant to differentiate between Muslims and Sikhs, instilling fear and ill effects in more people than he intended.

This footnote is interesting:

subsequently republished at Jezebel with a different title and [...] completely inappropriate photo in place of my original artwork. I accept that it was my mistake for not confirming with Anna North, the staff writer at Jezebel who commissioned the republication, that this change would be made, and it’s a(nother) lesson learned the hard way: trust cis people and you will get burned.

The New York Taxi Workers Alliance is managing donations for the cab driver, Ahmed Sharif.

That page also has contact information for New York Governor Paterson, so New Yorkers can encourage him to sign the Taxi Driver Protection Act. The bill would provide taxi drivers with the same protections as MTA train and bus drivers, automatically upgrading assaults to felonies. The bill was championed after a March attack on another taxi driver.

Help buying a knife set for my wife.

It depends on her hand size, grip, and what she's comfortable with. It would be better to buy individual knives if she has smaller hands and wants a lighter knife. If that is the case, I'd recommend:

Global 10" Chef's Knife - this is light and well-balanced for the size, with enough heft to slice through things cleanly.

Shun Classic 6" Chef's Knife - well-balanced and very maneuverable, with a beautiful handle and blade, a joy to use. The right size that makes this her workhorse.

Global 4" Paring Knife - extremely maneuverable and fits small hands very well.

cheap offset bread knife - Instead of getting them sharpened, just get a new one. Serrated does all the work for you.

cheap Chinese "cleaver" (chef's knife) - consider this style, as its heft benefits smaller hands. The technique is vastly different from Western knives but it's worth learning.

honing steel or ceramic - depending on knife usage, can be anywhere from daily to weekly, just to re-align.

sharpening stones or system - once you get the hang of it, it's easy and zen-like. I like the SpyderCo Sharpmaker 204. Depending on usage and the softness of the blades, maybe every 6 months or year.

Shun Shears (DM7240) - these are essentially two knives and can be sharpened easily as they come apart. They have an amazing heft since they are completely metal with rubber comfort grips, that can cut through anything.

Most importantly, go someplace where she can try them out. Williams Sonoma, Sur La Table, etc.

To be fair to 2X, this reddit has a bit more of an academic lean, and the moderation team has less tolerance for dishonesty. I think this post also 'flew under the radar', as we do attract the Men's Rights crowd. I think you would also enjoy /r/women since it kinda sits between 2X and us, in terms of casual to seriousness. 2X has an excellent, supportive community and I hope that experience hasn't dissuaded you from enjoying it.

I'm glad I was able to articulate it, then. Just to let you know, I am a cis male poc.

This topic has been covered several times, and is covered in-depth in the FAQ. As such, bringing the trope out is a method of derailment. You will derail no more.
