Letters to the Editor

This letter is associated with the following article:
Cho and other Asian shooters were portrayed as "smart but quiet" and "fundamentally foreign." What do these stereotypes reveal, and what do they obscure?
  • I never thought this had anything to do with race

    This article has sections that seem very strained and self-induced.

    I get the impression that there's a whole generation out there that's been trained to believe that every last tiny little thing that happens in the world ultimately revolves around race, class and/or gender.

    There have been more than a few strained and strange articles published in Salon that have tried to hammer the universe into that hole.
