It was already an article in LM magazine, as part of an ideological offensive against affirmative action. LM, and James Heartfield personally, argues that the American ruling-class favors affirmative action. He argued that previously on the thaxis mailing-list in a thread related to the question of racism. What Justin has to come to grips with is how such "brilliant" history can be deployed to support such a reactionary position.
