This is indeed a very good piece. But read the responses--depressingly 
familiar rants against PG's discussion of whiteness, together with a 
recycling of myths about the insignifcance of right-wing terrorism; and 
of course digs against multiculturalism.

Subject: [BSA-RACE] Comment piece by Priya Gopal


An excellent comment piece by Priya Gopal that I thought colleagues 
might like
to see: "How privilege-blindness stops us understanding the roots of 
terrorism:
 From Cameron's 'Indian dance' remark to the discussion of Breivik's 
motives, the
invisibility of whiteness distorts debate"

Best wishes,
