I guess the “political and cultural progressivism” cited by Arthur Brisbane only frowns upon selected bigotries.
Let’s rewrite the money quote for race rather than gender:
“White people live longer, are healthier and are far less likely to commit a violent offense. If blacks were cars, who would buy the model that doesn’t last as long, is given to lethal incidents and ends up impounded more often?”
Who thinks such a formulation would enjoy scarce op-ed space in the Times?
