Culture is a word that racists hide behind to justify their racism

Readers should know that this classic racist (who once wrote in defense of banning young black men from jewelry stores in the Georgetown area of Washington, DC) is considered an American liberal--kid you not:  "Cultures change. But glacially. It is no accident that the south of Europe — Greece, Italy, Spain, and Portugal — is extending a tin cup to the north. It is no accident that Arab countries are mucking up democracy, and it is no accident that Japan and Germany have the No. 1 and No. 2 carmakers. The FT was right to play that story on Page One. But it wasn’t about cars. It was about culture -- the most important story of our times."  If this is the liberal, just imagine the fascists. (thanks Farah)
