I agree that we should consider this point - and Asian people and to some extent Jewish people have been excluded from the ongoing media outrage - but I don't think the solution to racism is ever going to be found in identity politics with its consistent focus on skin colour or other characteristics as vital to identity. It perpetuates the problem it purports to solve.

My approach, and the approach of writers like Steve QJ is to challenge the philosophical system itself. I don't play the game (that's why I'm a penguin) - you have to debate my arguments and not my identity - because it's very easy to dismiss you as an angry Asian guy and throw the baby out with the bathwater.
