Rick, I see it like this: it's become fashionable to oppose imperialism perpetrated against 'third world people of colour'. It's Kind of like saying: I'm progressive cause I listen to latin music, go to multicultural fairs, donate money to charities, or attend anti-globalization demonstrations. (Pardom the pun but) Things are looked at in' black and white' terms. Imperialism per se and its wider implications for the world as a whole is either not understood or ignored.
