Barack Obama, the white candidate
James Burnett of the Miami Herald makes a great point. Barack Obama is half-black, half-white, yet the mainstream media (and alas yes, I too) call him black. Mr. Burnett suggests that he’s going to start calling Mr. Obama the white candidate because, after all, he’s half white. You really should read this. Why can’t newspapers (instead of their blogs) make this kind of point more often?
