Elitist discovers that regular Americans are remarkably like real human beings.
The search for racism among grassroots conservatives in America continues.
//Kaddie Abdul, "an IT data engineer working in Silicon Valley," decided to drive four hours to a Trump rally in Nevada to show how racist "those people" are. She wore her Muslim garb, held her Koran, and waited for someone to attack her. No one did. A few people gave her an odd look, but nary a nibble.
Darn it.
Apparently the Guardian in Britain had paid for her gasoline, so she had to write something, so she wrote: "I went to a Trump rally in my hijab. His supporters aren't just racist caricatures."
Actually, she meant "just aren't racist caricatures."//

The best part of the Obama years has been all the racial healing.
Historically, this is how empires imposed by force - not democracies of a sovereign people - behave:
//Is it any wonder that voters are angry and restive? The presidential campaign comes not a minute too soon, and not just because it heralds the end of the Obama experiment, but because it can bring a cleansing debate on an existential issue that, surprisingly, gets little attention.
In a new report, I argue that to embark on this debate, we need to understand how America did things in the past — how it assimilated multiple ethnicities into a single people who brimmed with an exuberance of patriotic spirit as they threw themselves into their shared destiny.
We must also understand what we are doing now by officially dividing the nation into five different groups — Whites, African Americans, Native Americans, Hispanics, and Asians — and encouraging their permanence with benefits such as racial preferences.
That the first is the “dominant group” of Critical Theory, and the last four are the “subordinate groups,” as can be seen in the perfectly Orwellian “all animals are created equal, but some are more equal than others” language of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. It helpfully explains that:
Every U.S. citizen is a member of some protected class, and is entitled to the benefits of EEO law. However, the EEO laws were passed to correct a history of unfavorable treatment of women and minority group members.//
