Letter to the Nation

(... the magazine, that is.)

As a supporter of universal health care, (we) find this patently offensive, "identity politics" at its worst. This implies that any opposition to any of the policies of a minority president is racism, and is EXACTLY the kind of crap that stirs up those who might be on the conservative side of the fence.

Now, if Ms. Harris-Lacewell could take the time to point out how certain minority groups are bearing the brunt of the shortcomings of the current system, she might be on to something. But that would take a little more work than the Google searches that appear to have produced the research shown here.
