I went through the ...You think I offer no evidence? I went through the original comment practically line by line, pointing out its foolishness and inaccuracy. Was I wrong in anything I wrote? You don’t say.<br /><br />You think I’m uncomfortable with context? You can’t have read many of my comments. Please go back and read the deathless prose I’ve contributed to this commentariat over the years. Not only will you be in for a treat as you read my witty and cogent prose, you’ll find that I think context is everything. <br /><br />I’m gonna take a guess: you think I’m defending TDH’s blog entry. I’m not. TDH views things through his prism of tribal identity, and that colors his views. I think the response of the various ethnic communities to the proposed course leads some credence to TDH’s fears, and I’m as suspicious of jargon as he is. Not to mention educationists in general.<br /><br />But that doesn’t mean that an ethnic studies course is a bad idea, and it doesn’t mean that there aren’t cogent counter-arguments to TDH’s fears. Indeed, some of the critical commentary has been on point. But that doesn’t include the original comment, which is absurdly ignorant (or perhaps ignorantly absurd).<br /><br />I understand what Gingrich is doing, and if you think TDH is doing the same, then you’re not paying attention. Just the way you weren’t paying attention to the actual target of my comment. But both TDH and Gingrich are doing one thing in concert: they’re both giving fair warning that the right will demonize progressives on identitarian grounds. It might be better not to play into their hands.<br /><br />And don’t rush to tell me that the right are the real identitarians (of the white persuasion). I already know. Every right-wing accusation is an admission.deadrathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02828198094140822987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-90145131530394443192019-08-21T12:56:39.137-04:002019-08-21T12:56:39.137-04:00is there anyone here more embarrassing than this f...<i>is there anyone here more embarrassing than this fool deadrat?</i><br /><br />Yeah, it’s someone who thinks my comments are foolish and worthless, but takes the time and effort to criticize them.

But for most Americans, most of the time, there were a lot of other things going on."

The materials dice by focusing on “African-Americans, Latinos, Native Americans, Asian-Americans, Arab-Americans, Central American immigrants and Pacific Islanders,” which has led to criticism from other groups not mentioned, including Jews, Armenians, Greeks, Hindus, and Koreans.<br /><br />So there’s no doubt that the proposed course slices and dices “the population into identity groups.” It’s TDH’s contention that individuals will be told by the state that their individual identity is whatever the chopping process dictates. That’s as may be. And it also may be that rational counterarguments exist.
