Now, in Levittown, it implies that every Muslim is a terrorist. In its softer form, this racism cautions us to stick with our own—that identity outweighs both class and convictions. One woman I met worried that Obama would leverage the presidency against whites. “It’s the reckoning,” she said simply.The racism of fear is subtler...
