The University Of Wisconsin Is Wasting Its Money
pandagon.net - we are the public option — by Jesse Taylor Yesterday, Ann Althouse contended that any liberal criticism of Bobby Jindal needed to be examined for potential latent racism. Today, when faced with evidence of Ace of Spades picking out random Indian guys from movies to compare Jindal to, Althouse says the following about liberals comparing Jindal to a white guy: Comparing Jindal to Kenneth of “30 Rock” is not a nice indicator of Americans’ ability to see beyond skin color.

Sister ToldjahWhy racial attitudes that helped Barack Obama will hurt Bobby Jindal

No More Mister Nice Blog — SO, ANN, IS RUSH'S MAN-CRUSH ON JINDAL RACIST TOO? Ann Althouse (emphasis in original): Comparing Jindal to Kenneth of "30 Rock" is not a nice indicator of Americans' ability to see beyond skin color. Quite the opposite! Instinctively repainting him white is -- I would say -- presumptively racial. To strip away his racial identity -- to stereotype him as an especially white white man -- is a powerful racial move. This is not nice at all. I would really like to know what makes white people so sure they are being nice ...

Althouse Digs In
The Daily Dish | By Andrew SullivanGood Lord: 3. Comparing Jindal to Kenneth of "30 Rock" is not a nice indicator of Americans' ability to see beyond skin color. Quite the opposite! Instinctively repainting him white is — I would say — presumptively racial. To strip away his racial identity — to stereotype him as an especially white white man — is a powerful racial move. And yet the immediate and obvious association was because of his voice and manner of speaking. And he did sound as lame and ...

Sometimes a cigar is only a cig .... ahh, what the hell, it's penises all the way
Obsidian Wings — ... by von Look, I can be sensitive -- perhaps oversensitive -- when it comes to race.  I can also be stunningly obtuse.  Still, at the risk of being obtuse here, I don't get Professor Althouse's take on Bobby Jindal's prime-time meltdown.  Indeed, though the following bit of Alhousia may be inspired, it's more likely completely insane: 3. Comparing Jindal to Kenneth of "30 Rock" is not a nice indicator of Americans' ability to see beyond skin color. Quite the opposite! Instinctively repainting him white is — ...
