Subject: Philip Roth’s racist novel
Philip Roth has published a new novel promoting the myth of the “light-skinned black” and “white racial purity.” It’s called “The Human Stain.” Guess what that “stain” is.

This New York Times Book Review reveals even more of the “white purity” racism promoted in Philip Roth’s, “The Human Stain.” Note that the New York Times reviewer who describes the very “white” main character as “black” is Asian. Especially insulting, isn’t it?
