New York Times raises eyebrows with gift guide for people 'of color'
Yahoo ^ | Dec 10, 2009

A new addition to the New York Times annual Holiday Gift Guide has sparked a minor uproar after a blog devoted to critiquing the paper termed it "racist." Included in this year's guide, which was published in November, is a page titled "Of Color/Stylish Gifts." This first-time feature is described by the paper as "gifts created for and by people of color."

The veil being lifted ever so slightly.

Don't get your hopes up, folks. The Slimes will say something soothing and this will all go away.

...while the liberal-leaning media gossip blog Gawker.com called it "a celebration of the racist assumption that 'people of color' are defined by their colors."

Uhhhhhh....

I work in an industry that is jam-packed with liberals, and they are unbelievably racist. Their racism operates on the assumption that they are universally smarter than everyone “of color” because they know what’s best for them, and they also have absurd double standards.

None of this is news to any of you, of course, but imagine if minorities would wake up and realize how the left exploits them...
