Frank Rich's "In Defense of White Americans"

Check out Frank Rich's piece in the October 27 NYT. He notes, among other things, the 2006 incident in which then-Senator George Allen of Virginia called a young Indian-American "macaca" and welcomed him "to America and the real world of Virginia." (This past September the GOP staged a "unity" rally in northern Virginia in an effort to reach out to minority voters. One of the speakers at the rally--former Senator George Allen. That's not tone deaf, it's completely deaf.)
