The New Racism

America being the constantly evolving country that it is, we're finding new ways to be racist.

My son notes this over at Cassidy's Blog:
I've noticed a discouraging trend in the national discourse, where bigotry, hatred and simple racism have become not only acceptable, but almost chic. . . . Consider two recent events, the Dubai Ports Deal (DPD) and the Danish Cartoon Controversy (DCC). Both were and should have been cut-and-dry issues, but they exposed some pernicious undercurrents in our society.
Indeed they did. Check out Cassidy's discourse and let him know what you think.
