[lbo-talk] M.I.A. on Lady Gaga and more

[shag carpet bomb]

it's an video that asks the viewer to imagine the world if we were to 
racialize red hair. it's supposed to get the viewer to say, "oh fuckin 
stupid would that be?" and then use that as a wedge to get them to see how 
stupid it is to racialize any supposed sign of difference.

i responded earlier without the entire context of joanna comment, so *I* 
didn't understand her confusion and gave an unhelpful answer. (!!!)
