And it’s hard to have anything really ...

• The Tsarnaev Brothers Being White Hasn’t Thrown a Monkey Wrench in Islamophobia

  
  — Authority:
  Okay, teachable moment aside, the truth is that in America much to the disadvantage of dark-skinned people, the Muslim religion is used to denote one’s race. Why?
