Bobby Jindal and the GOP Love of “Post-Racial”

[Stingo]

Bobby Jindal is the darling of the Republican Party, especially the extremists on the religious right. They see him as competent, as socially conservative and as an example to themselves that they are beyond race. The GOP hasn’t adequately parsed its difficulties with race, and some of their members might see Jindal as Apu of the Simpsons.

This is something worth discussing. He sounds kind of like an Indian Sarah Palin. Complete opposition to abortion, etc.
