"The Proper Way to Use Identity"

"Ilhan Omar, who's also endorsing Sanders, has done much the same. For her, 'the very serious function of racism is distraction. It keeps you from doing your work,' and Trump's racist populism is an effort to 'prevent the solidarity of working people'.

But they absolutely befuddle a media class who can only see politics through the lens of identity."
