Slate has done their mental gymnastics to explain away the un-PC implications of the catcalling video, so you knew Salon wouldn’t let themselves be outdone.
Emily Gould lets fly with this beauty:
Part of being honest about street harassment and creating awareness of it has to be an honest assessment of the ways this kind of harassment can be a way marginalized groups talk back to the white gentrifiers taking over their neighborhoods.
So you see, it really is all whitey’s fault. It has to be. PC ideology demands it.
Seriously, they’re getting desperate. There is no way Emily Gould, who is a story herself, actually believes that drivel. Salon and Slate are arms of the PC Ministry of Truth. We are not at war with Eurasia. We have never been at war with Eurasia.
Red,
This is an example of intra-white liberal infighting–dubbed Hipster Racism. The core of it is white liberals, mired in student loan debt and few job prospects to income levels, are buying up slums and ‘gentrifying them.’ A very urban phenom that is worth watching.
