Xenophobia in Alabama?
March 22, 2012, 4:41PM
I have always considered myself highly flattered when denominated a "xenophobe." And so you can easily imagine my chagrin upon learning that the word refers merely to the fear of foreigners rather than to the loathing that continues as one of my favorite personal virtues.
All I ask is to be given absolute authority for a period of one year, at the end of which time Alabama will be whiter than vanilla frosting

Ah, the old fallacy of needing lots of Guatemalans, Pakistanis, Congolese, Colombians, Ghanas, and Papuan / New Guineans to turbo-charge a flagging economy. Imagine where the United States would be today had its leaders not been so obcecated with their stubborn reliance on flaccid, boring, plain vanilla White workers, for years and years.
