Racism is bad - so is self-delusion

From Mark Steyn in the Daily Telegraph:

What’s the deal with these riots in Sydney? You switch on the television and there’s scenes of urban conflagration and you think, “Hang on, I saw this story last month.” But no. They were French riots. These are Australian riots. Entirely different. The French riots were perpetrated by - what’s the word? - “youths”. The Australian riots were perpetrated by “white youths”. Same age cohort, but adjectivally enhanced.

And, being “white youths”, they thus offered “a chilling glimpse into the darker corners of Australian society”, as Nick Squires put it last week, “with thousands of white youths rampaging through a well-known beach suburb, attacking people of Middle Eastern background. They were egged on by white supremacists and neo-Nazis.” Gotcha. White youths egged on by white supremacists. You can’t make a racist omelette without egged whites.
