Mr. Right: Politics of fear are creating a culture of bigotry
Apr. 24, 2008During one of my classes this quarter, the discussion turned toward the politics of fear in a post-9/11 world. As one fellow student argued that infringements upon our civil liberties were justified by the prospect of new terrorist attacks and as another argued that racial profiling is justified by the preponderance of terrorist acts committed by those of Middle Eastern descent, it struck me just how much our culture has changed since September 11, 2001. In a pre-9/11 world, Americans valued their civil liberties, and racial profiling was taboo in most circles.
