Once again I\u2019m seeing outrage pop up about this<\/a>. \u00a0Apparently an MTV writer told Jeff Sessions to take his Asian grandchild back to Toys R Us. \u00a0The gist being he was only using the baby as a prop to prove he\u2019s not a racist.<\/p>\nNothing unusual there. \u00a0I\u2019ve read many pieces over the years insisting that no matter what a person does, no matter how many minorities they are friends with, how many they help, how open and loving they are to minorities, that doesn\u2019t mean they\u2019re not a racist.<\/p>\n
You might say that, as a matter of fact, the second son was the obedient one*. \u00a0 It doesn\u2019t matter what you do, it\u2019s what you say. \u00a0In the face of that, sometimes people will be jerks, with a tad bit of subtle racism to boot, in order to prove the point.<\/p>\n
It just shows that there is racial intolerance across party lines, and people can be rude across party lines. \u00a0 But that\u2019s all.<\/p>\n
Plus, it\u2019s an MTV writer people. \u00a0That\u2019s MTV writer. I\u2019ve already spent more time thinking about what MTV writers have to say than I normally do in any given year.<\/p>\n
