5 Feet of Fury

How Michelle Obama’s Fashion Diplomacy Punctured India’s Color Prejudice

There used to be a tiny gang of lefty bloggers who followed my every word, ran a site devoted to collecting all my “racist” comments, left nasty (and more importantly, factually inaccurate) comments under every article I wrote, and took over my Wikipedia page.

They objected, for example, to my statement that “the matrimonial classifieds in Toronto’s South Asian papers describe desired complexion shades (the whiter, the better) in a manner that would make a Boer, well, blush.”

So… ahem.

I guess even my enemies were eventually worn down by a combination of my stubborness, and the intransigence of sheer reality.
