Words to live byHe's gone; the policy --strategic non-communication-- may still be in place. First, McClellan was a necessary figure in what I have called Rollback-- the attempt to downgrade the press as a player within the executive branch, to make it less important in running the White House and governing the country. It had once been accepted wisdom that by carefully "feeding the beast" an Administration would be rewarded with better coverage in the long run.

Here she-d simply 'have a cuban grandma', and she would look 'native'enough the question wouldn't come up and the answer wouldn't matter.
I know where the rule comes from, but it seems to have degenerated into two kinds of racism, one is what you are complaining about, and I see it is every bit as ugly as you put it.
And the other is the reverse one, where people that don't look black are expected to 'act' 'black', and are called traitors if they don't.
I think the first step of being antiracist is seeing race is about how you look not who you are. I know it's not as easy in a country with so much of a mix, and without the culture of intermarriage that we have here.
And I'm definitely going to see Angelina playing Marianne.
