Oh.

GENEVA (Reuters) - A special U.N. human rights investigator will visit the United States this month to probe racism, an issue that has forced its way into the race to secure the Democratic Party�s presidential nomination.

The United Nations said Doudou Diene would meet federal and local officials, as well as lawmakers and judicial authorities during the May 19-June 6 visit.

�The special rapporteur will...gather first-hand information on issues related to racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance,� a U.N. statement said on Friday.

His three-week visit, at U.S. government invitation, will cover eight cities � Washington D.C., New York, Chicago, Omaha, Los Angeles, New Orleans, Miami and San Juan, Puerto Rico.

This "anti-racist" dude last was in the spotlight for calling Denmark (all of it) racist for publishing the cartoons about mo'. For some reason, I don't think his traveling circus will go down as well in the United States.

That's an interesting choice.

I predict that this guy will have about as much practical impact on the USA as would a representative from the Minnesota Better Business Bureau investigating hagwons in Daegu.
