oh sweet jesus, yes. it seems my intended dryly ironic tone[1] may have failed to come out in that description of her thesis. my apologies if you were offended.
actually, when i read the description of the thesis a while back, i thought "huh, i wonder if browngirl and sparkeymonster have read about this -- i'd be curious to see how or if things are different a couple of decades later." but i didn't want to be all "HELLO MY BLACK IVY LEAGUE FRIENDS! I'M YOUR NICE WHITE FRIEND! WHAT DO THE BLACK IVY LEAGUE PEOPLE THINK ABOUT THIS RACE-RELATED THING I HAVE READ ABOUT?"
and for more fun: compare and contrast the reaction to that (written when she was an undergraduate college student in the 1980's) with the stuff (http://www.realchange.org/ronpaul.htm) written in ron paul's newsletter when he was an established politician and former presidential candidate in the 1990's. gah.
