"Don't bring me into this."

Leave it to the liberal print media to find some way to kill everyone's Olympics buzz.
For instance, did you know that the choice by the U.S. Olympic Committee to have Ralph Lauren stitch the threads for Team USA's opening ceremonies uniform was an unfortunate nod to racism and classism and a futile, nostalgic clinging to America's waning WASP empire? That according to Sameer Reddy (pictured at right, photo via Newsweek) in an August 20 online exclusive for Newsweek

"Don't bring me into this."
foreign a##!
I'll take Leryn Franco, thank you very much.
I like Lacoste, but i wish they brought back the “tennis tail”.
Judging by Sameer's picture the proper uniform would be: 
I think this guy, who appears Indian, which actually has a caste system, is just another liberal/anti American puke. They get bolder when they think they are gonna win an election.
I did a brief Google search and there’s nothing to suggest that he isn’t/is American. Where did you get his citizenship info from?
Well, he was born in Hyderabad, India, and he is an Indian cinematographer. Doubt that he's a US citizen.
preppy ping
My father loved Brooks Brothers, Orvis and JoS A Banks. My husband’s a tech geek and not much of a clothes horse. (I love him anyway) :) Our son is definitely his grandfather’s grandson.
Perhaps he should have designed the line for the Olympic team.
Sameer needs to quit hatin’ on the WASPS, including honorary uber-WASP, Ralph Lauren!
One thing about this year’s Olympic uniforms is their resemblance to the uniforms the Chinese teams wore at the 1984 Olympics. I saw video of their march-in, on an NBC show about the politics of the Olympics. The point was that because the Chinese showed up in LA after the USSR decided to boycott, they effectively kept the Olympices from becoming a totally political east/west divided event, which would have really killed the whole concept of Olympics.
I wonder if the Ralph Lauren team knew about the 1984 uniforms?
sorry, this might be easier to read.
I don’t know anything about the 84 Chinese uniforms, but I do know that this nautical rendition is pure Lauren. The polo ponies should not have been so obvious, however, on the shirts.
I don’t live in India...there are too many people there and I would be in a very low caste, probably a blogger.
Sorry if taking a dump in the Ganges was insulting...
Yawn, just another “needs to be noticed” writer saying the outrageous for attention. I’m sure his own looks are everything to him.
That’s not dirt, that’s more likely a several hundred dollar coiffe, LOL, and it even looks racist to me.
In my office of 15 people there are a total of seven (7) male minorities — including Asians, blacks, and Hispanics. Every one of them puts me to shame when it comes to their taste in clothing. LOL.
Isn’t WASP a little redundant? Wouldn’t being Anglo-Saxon automatically make one white?
