I write to congratulate Patrick Lee and Ryan McElveen for the sparkling perfection of the art of self-parody they achieve in their April 23 column, "Debunking De-Stereotype Day." Masterfully weaving their words into a tapestry of social justice, they write: "In order for historically disenfranchised communities to confront a historically white institution, they must not play into its framework by reinforcing marginalization through dialogue steeped within the hegemonic system."
Manifestly, these are the visionaries we need to guide us into the promised land of racial harmony. Let us play into their framework; down with the hegemonic system!
