I may be confused. Is Andrew Sullivan the gay British expat who lives in Massachusetts now? More to the point: Am I remembering wrong, or is he one of those guys who thinks multiculturalism is “Cultural Marxism” because it challenges the supremacy of Anglo-Saxon capitalism, like Marxism, and two things that he fears are the same to him? I’m probably remembering wrong. [Nope, guess not. He’s quoted as calling liberals “Neo-Marxists” in another _Vox_ piece on this teapot tempest.](https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2018/8/3/17648566/sarah-jeong-new-york-times-twitter-andrew-sullivan) Anyway, racism provokes response. Turkish bigotry led to violent Greek and Armenian nationalism. Anglo-Saxon racism led to Louis Farrakhan and black separatism on this side of the Atlantic, and also to a certain angry kind of Irish identity various places. Apparently smug white people led to this woman making smart-ass remarks on Twitter. Which, meh. But then, I think the world would be a better place if we were allowed to say that American Blacks, Jews, the Irish, _and_ Anglo-Saxons are all bullshit. People are jerks. They–we–are still people. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/new-york-times-hires-unapologetic-racist-writer/819086)._
