...This mock military struggle’s arrival is particularly distasteful considering that this hallowed bank of the Charles has, over the course of its grand history, served as a sanctuary for effete, bloated Brahmins interested in evading combat of any kind. Alas, gone are the days when Cabot and Crowninshield could titter lazily about the Lowells over high tea, leaving the bayonets to the plebs.

Even the staunchest advocates of equal opportunity racism must admit that contemporary culture grants a special leeway to public figures who mock their own ethnic group. It is hard to imagine that a white Dave Chappelle would have much success casually tossing around the n-word on national television. Similarly, if a gentile comedian told us to “throw the Jew down the well,” it would lead to an uproar, but when Sacha Baron Cohen?...
