"appeared to make a link between the Baltimore riots and a contention that 'every black has a strange new name that symbolizes their lack of desire for integration' compared with 'every Asian student [who] has a very simple old American first name.'" "The key question, though, according to Hough, 'is whether my comments were largely accurate. In writing me, no one has said I was wrong, just racist.'" Wrong or right? Racist or not? Is the backlash even necessary? Opinions appreciated.
