<p>The article was enlightening, and flattered Obama’s command of nuance, but it was really quite convoluted, and as you mention, forwards a couple simplistic stereotypes. The NYT is really going downhill for me in general. Too much “buzzword” journalism. The article in the magazine about “post-race” Obama was one of the most insipid things I’ve ever read in the times. They also talk about Youtube constantly. It’s really annoying. Read the New Yorker/Harper’s/Atlantic Monthly.</p>
