Someone just brought up tone in an (off-LJ) discussion about race. (It is, in fact, on a feminist knitters forum on Rav, and it's a Seal Press redux.) Can anyone link me to any of the excellent discussions of why bringing up tone in a discussion about race can range from revealing of your own shortcomings through hypocritical to downright racist, but is usually not a good idea, that have been posted this year? Ta.

It goes beyond discussions of racism.

Complaining about the process is almost always a way to obscure talking about the issues. Regardless of what's being discussed.

Yup, I agree.
