If I wanted to insult all Americans I'd have done it explicitly. I'd have hoped that in context it would have been obvious who I was talking about.

But as for racism - I think when you have a presidential contender and her supporters deliberately and knowingly playing the race card, it's something that has had an impact.

It hasn't had the effect it might have had because Obama seems canny enough not to run on race explicitly. He's allowed Hillary and the Rs to do it for him, and it's given them enough rope to hang themselves with.

Even so - it's shocking to find the Clinton camp being so aggressively out of line on this.

It wasn't, but thanks for the clarification.

I thought it would work a bit better. Instead this rhetoric from people like Susan Hu has been a sideshow. Maybe I'm just another urban liberal elitist.

you are the media you consume.
