The Race & Race
"Race is sensitive subtext in campaign"
As Barack Obama is now officially into his quest for the presidency of the US & A, the way he and the rest of the country handles the issue of his ethnicity will be very.........interesting. Its such a delicate thing. Much like when Ujal Dosanjh became BC's first Indo-Canadian premier, its a trailblazing feat but it sucks that the ethnicity can overtake the individual's actual merit and qualification. The issue of merit and ethnic attention is a bit different I guess for a politician who will lead a province or the most powerful country in the world and a musical act but, in Dosanjh's case especially, i cant help but to think of the notion that Jackie Wong hit on dead-on for me in his review of No Luck Club's new disc.
