If political correctness prevents us from recognizing differences between cultures and recognizing that some things from other cultures are inconsistent with our values, I have issues with it.
The reaction from the right, that any identification of racism is racism in itself, is ridiculous.
However, the apparent assertion on the left that all opposition to President Obama is based on his race makes it easier for the right to reject all claims of racism.
I do believe that those who are members of a minority race are capable of racism in their own right. Identifying behavior of the part of others that is racially biased is not, however, evidence of such racism.
Anyone who believes that racism does not exist in America should hop on his unicorn and take a ride to Fantasyland.

As always, I appreciate your words.
The most racial stuff I have dealt with relates to being an American Indian and the idea that, due to race, I am supposed to agree with the idea that the ongoing "plight" of Natives -- at this point -- is caused by anyone but Natives.
By virtue of possessing multiple degrees, believing that daily employment is good, and that Leonard Peltier should rot in Federal prison implies that I am not "traditionally Native."
I wasn't aware that being traditional indicated I needed to faux up a relationship with land (many reservations tribes cling to is not even their ancestral homeland), criminal activity, excuses and failure to thrive due to things that occurred prior to any Indian alive today being born.
Fuck'em.
It annoys.

Actually, I heard that case zero was a professor at the Univ. of Michigan, who noted on a student's paper that such and such was 'politically incorrect.' Or so goes the legend.
Hillary, AFAIK, has not been a professor anywhere.

Does one have to hate onself to despise what others of his clan, race, or class have done? I think not. I am sickened by many things that old white guys have done. I have become an old white guy, but I am satisfied with many of the things I have done with my life. (I spend a lot of my time trying to keep rich rich white guys (a generalization, I know) from taking advantage of the people who work for them.) Many many things I would like to do better, and there are many things I wish I had accomplished; but knowing my failings along with my successes does not equate to self hate.
