"The Caucasian Card"

Newsweek's Anna Quindlen has an article on the "race card" issue that's well worth reading. Without summarizing it here, the term "playing the race card" has been used as a perjorative to indicate that an African American is using his or her race to obtain an advantage in an argument, etc. The "Caucasian Card," which is what Quindlen says McSame and his handlers have been playing, is the flip side. It's a perceptive article.
