How many whites have a father who graduated with a Masters degree from Harvard, like Obama? How many whites have a mother with a PhD degree, like Obama?

This author thinks an ivy-league degree determines whiteness. How many whites have a hard-core communist parents, like Obama?

In case you missed the introduction to my post, I mentioned “whiteness” in the manner in which the leftist scholar, Noel Ignatiev, understands it. Ignatiev wrote the book “How the Irish Became white” http://www.amazon.com/Irish-Became-White-Routledge-Classics/dp/0415963095

By the way, I do not associate “whiteness” with “Ivy league degrees” as you say. Ivy League universities are “anti-white”. But I am using the same arguments that leftists use to define “whiteness”, to challenge Obama’s comparison of himself to Trayvon.

That makes Obama a red, white, black.

I don't think the author thinks any such thing. The author is simply applying the method of post-modern cultural criticism, which the academic left uses as a universal solvent with which to attack Western civilization to attack the left. "Race" has actually been culture since at least the mid 1980's.

(I sometimes wonder whether I had a hand in that: the time two of my fellow rightists at Penn, a physics grad student and a physics professsor and I -- I was a math grad student at the time -- crashed a white-guilt party, officially called a "Racism Awareness Workshop", I managed to overwhelm the "facilitator" assigned to my group by arguing that racism was essentially dead in American, that remaining prejudices were essentially cultural, and in fact, rational and not invidious. The assistant dean running the thing came to bail out the "facilitator" and by the end of the afternoon, everyone was talking about culture and not about race. At the time "multiculturalism" was a Canadian government policy, not an idea that had spread world wide, and I really wonder, Penn being fairly prominent in the Ivy-League-level racial grievance industry, whether that exchange actually had an effect in the adoption of 'multiculturalism' as the favored replacement term for 'anti-racism'.)
