Someone suggested adding

Someone suggested adding this article from The Chronicle of Higher Education, "Why Identity Politics Distracts Us From Economic Inequalities," and I'm not sure if it's really an anti-racism resource. It ultimately has a "the only struggle is class struggle" point of view, but that dealing with race is better than nothing. It also calls Asians the "new Jews." What do others think? Does it belong on our anti-racism bibliography? If you need access to the article, let me know. (E-mail jenna @ stealthisemail . calm, but change "calm" to its homonym.)
