Frank Chow: Asian- American Political Pundit

The oh-so-shrill Eugene Robinson (h/t Balloon Juice ): Our most dangerous enemy right now isn't Osama bin Laden, who's presumably hiding in a cave somewhere. The enemy is the poisonous narrative that jihadists use to recruit assassins and suicide bombers, and that narrative is that the United States and the West really aren't at war with just the extremists, we're at war with Islam itself.

Being white and male is seen instead as a neutral condition, the natural order of things. Any "identity" -- black, ...
