And how outrageous to just run up and assign the responsibility to someone based on race, you know?

My god, that's unthinkable! I should be ashamed of myself for even thinking people could do that!

... maybe I should lay off the sarcasm. Nah.

And that is an interesting point, and you're right that it does illuminate the way the media likes to assign spokespeople, regardless of logic. I could be cynical and say that it's just an example of how people would much rather have someone else to do all the hard thinking and work for them. But, okay, yes, I am going to be cynical and say that.

(And your experience is similar to mine, that it only seems to happen that I am cast as Teh Wise Sage On Race Issues For The Unenlightened White Masses on a whim. It usually leaves me going "um, what?" On the upside, I haven't had that happen in a few years. I count my blessings.)
