When I read Tim Connolly's "translation" of a letter to the editor of the St Paul paper I was stunned initially but quickly appreciated the brave confrontation he made to the writer's bigotry. Political correctness can also have the effect of providing bigots protective cover and can anaesthetize those of us who don't face the consequences of their bigotry. I also commend the list manger for not censoring this debate.
I realize that I am not directly effected by the writer's prejudice since I am a white heterosexual middle income female (he neglected to mention bitches, whores and feminazis as a reason for our city's decline). I hope that those who are more vulnerable to being hurt will see Connolly's parody in this light.
