What makes Asian and Latino American activists demand "representation" in the curriculum is the spurious egalitarian logic that says that "race" should somehow be as important to their lives and in their education as it is for African-Americans. Asian and Latino Americans have undoubtedly suffered from racial innuendo, discrimination, and even violence. But the racism that affects these minorities has not been nearly as pervasive, isolating, recalcitrant, and deeply-rooted as the racism affecting African Americans, whose 400 years' experience of slavery, exploitation, segregation, ghettoization, and struggle has kept them by and large a distinct "nation within a nation...
...daily litany of lowbrow sexual innuendo, anatomical comparisons and coarse ethnic stereotyping may endear him to a surging army of sophomoric radio listeners, but not to the Federal Communications Commission. For the second time in two months, broadcasts by schlock jock Howard Stern have drawn FCC fines.

...nerd-meets-girl, nerd-gets-girl story, laced throughout with sex, sex, sex. But no skin flick here. Just innuendo and a good-taste-be-damned-scene staged inside a woman's vagina. Plenty of condoms, plenty of high school bullies and ever-short-skirted cheer-leaders, and of course, a girls' locker room shower scene...
