“It’s my great nightmare that I, or my son, ever sound like [Lindsey Graham]–smug, self-satisfied, unreflective, whiny and narcissistic. It’s the sort of comment that betrays a man bereft of any deep interest in this country’s history. But if you’ve never had to grapple with who you are in relation to other people, if you’ve never had to worry much about courting people who aren’t like you, if you’ve never struggled with being politically correct, it’s exactly the sort of thing you’d say.
It is, in a word, ignorance. ” – Ta-Nehisi Coates, from a longer post on what PC really means.
