Licenses do ill

“ I can’t imagine I have to explain this to anyone in 2012, but if you find yourself putting brown makeup on a white person in 2012 so they can do a bad funny accent in order to sell potato chips, you are on the wrong course. ”—
How To Fix Popchips’ Racist Ad Campaign - Anil Dash
I think there’s another side to this Dash doesn’t mention or that he’s perhaps mentioned before elsewhere. But I think there’s an attitude in white American culture that it’s okay to have racist attitudes about “successful” immigrant cultures (e.g., Indian, Asian). Because you’re not kicking them when they’re down. You’re just making fun of how they talk and dress.
Not to say it’s defensible. It is not. But having been a white person for many years now, I can tell you this is a predominant notion among our people. And if the people Dash calls out actually had the suggested root-cause-analysis, I suspect it would come up pretty early in the conversation.

First Listen: Lower Dens, ‘Nootropics’ : NPR
Although I know a few people in this band, I wasn’t all that into the last record. This one’s really much better. Excellent, in fact.
Judging by the pre-release buzz, I’d say the music blogosphere agrees. Click above to stream free on NPR.
