I just read “even if Mexico is not a race”. Quite good. It reminded me of the rather long piece I once did about the stupid argument that “it can’t be racist, b/c it’s not about race”. I just got inspired to translate it from danish, enjoy:

‘bit of a short week…though we do have more for next week, I promise.’
Now that sounds rather apolegetic, but I say no apology is due; If you don’t have anything in a proper finished state to publish, don’t publish anything.
I’m sickened by how sites such as Huffington Post, Daily Beast, Salon, Slate and Gawker clog the Net with mindless filler. This even infects such “quality” sites as the BBC, the Guardian, and the Washington Post.
Resist, hombre, resist!
