*****Personally, I find "You've got to be taught / To be afraid / OF PEOPLE WHO'S EYES / ARE ODDLY MADE" pretty cringeworthy. Yes, Cable is without a doubt arguing AGAINST racism -- but with (yikes) a pretty racist attitude in that phrase...*****
That never occurred to me! But now that you've brought it up, I would say one could easily interpret that phrase as Cable making the point that white racists think Asian people have eyes that are "oddly made" -- not that he himself would ever use that term. |
