The Protests, The Olympics, And The Yellow Peril.

By Dan Harris and Steve Dickinson

There is so much great stuff out there on the Olympics; I could devote the next few months to nothing but that on this blog. Though I have studiously sought to avoid covering these issues too often, I could not resist saying something about this post on Shanghai Scrap, entitled, "The Protests, the Olympics, and Race." It is damn good and it is hugely thought provoking. So what do you think? The comment lines are open, but please confine yourself to commenting on the issues raised in the article itself. I will start it off by saying I am troubled by how quickly people are willing to just write off 1. 3 billion people as "brainwashed" and I think that is ignorance at best, racism at worst. I will be getting on a long airplane flight shortly so please be patient in waiting for your comments to appear.
