"Racism? Bad. Acknowledging differences in cultural practices and mores? Not just good, but essential."

Yeah. I'm surprised people were bugged by that bit, because most of the time I hear "'Colorblindness' is a dangerous lie." But apparently if a white person says he's not colorblind, that doesn't fly either? IDEK.

The "'You shouldn't notice. Why are you noticing he's got a bomb and has a beard and is Muslim and wants to kill your family?"" one bugs me though. A lot.

My guess is it's supposed to be saying something like "We should notice that there's extremism in the Muslim world."

Which could be just that he's saying that we should study extremism and think about how it manifests in certain cultures. Which I think is... well, maybe fine if it's a recognition of cultural differences, but....

...it could be implying that he thinks Muslims are more likely to be extremists, or more violent, and I think that's getting onto shaky ground. Because Islamophobia is about the erroneous idea that "Our religions are peaceable; theirs tell you to strap bombs to yourself." And that might be what he's expressing.

I thought he was maybe saying that it gets silly when you're doing something like talking about an act of terrorism done by a Muslim extremist while pretending you don't notice they're Muslim--just as you wouldn't talk about an act of terrorism by a Christian extremist while feeling you can't mention they're Christian.

That's an interesting thought.
