Letter to the I: Support for Yasmin's Alibhai-brown's article


Yasmin Alibhai-Brown had a right to be outraged about first and second generation migrants being told to be automatically grateful for where they live.  But I would like to point out that this is merely a lazy (and racist) extension of a common right wing refrain for left wing concerns that they cannot be bothered to construct a coherent argument against.  The insinuation is that we hate our country.  What they can't get their head around is that sometimes it is a good thing to deliver hard truths about either things or people we care deeply about.
