Speaking of Race Cards . . . 0

. . . as I was couple of posts ago, Chancey Devega has noticed a new one in the deck.

In trying to frame the narrative surrounding Tamerlan Tsarnaev and Dzhokar Tsarnaev’s supposed actions in relation to the Boston Marathon bombing, the public and the mainstream media–both on the Left and the Right–are grappling with how Chechens are (or are not) in fact “white.”

Given that race does not exist except in the minds of those who see it (“race” based on skin color was dreamed up by Europeans along about the same time as chattel slavery and colonial expansion, by a quite marvelous and no doubt unrelated coincidence) and that it was the Caucuses that put the cacca in Caucasian, this seems to be a particularly stupid attempt to gin up a kerfuffle.
