Not much to say today, but I wanted to link to this article by Margaret Cho because I think she addresses something very important; it's easy to see that bigots/ignoramuses are wrong about other cultures, but it's harder to recognize our own educated, ethnocentric blind spots when we want to help.

If I Could Turn Back Time


Her article is part of a blogging series by women in their twenties - thirties, and although I haven't had a chance to read the others they look pretty interesting!
