Is it? His point is about multiculturalism in our society, and using his name is a pithy (and, imo, appropriate) way to make that point.

- marshray 15y agoI didn't read the piece by Andrew Sullivan that's being quoted, so I don't know what his point really is. It was taken out of context in the post above. It reads to me like he's taking a person's foreign sounding family-given name as a proxy for something which he claims is deeply meaningful. To me, that's the very definition of 'superficial'. When it's done with skin color it's called 'racism'.
- ubercore 15y agoHaven't read it either, just basing it on "The pre-eminent symbol of our the multicultural, multiracial society", and I'm not sure why you mentioned racism here
