…the unthinking left will brand any minority conservative who opposes government race and gender preferences a hypocrite if he/she may have benefited from private diversity hiring considerations. Nothing will persuade them otherwise. I will tell you this: Your skin color doesn’t get up every morning and sit at the keyboard. Your chromosomes don’t meet deadlines. Your ethnicity doesn’t sniff out good tips. In the end, you live or die by the quality, newsworthiness, reliability, and strength of your work–not by the box you checked on your job application.

The only time my ethnic heritage has mattered in the blogosphere is when critics bring it up to smear me as a sellout to my race/ethnicity or to make bigoted comments about my maiden name and my appearance.

Malkin’s blog is a great daily read that pulls no punches. I highly recommend her books, In Defense of Internment and Invasion.
