Letter
Van Jones and the Merchant of Venice
One is inclined to think of the duke's lines in the Merchant of Venice when reflecting on the common Western prejudice and racism in the comments of Van Jones. “I am sorry for thee: thou art come to answer. A stony adversary, an inhuman wretch. Uncapable of pity, void and empty. From any dram of mercy.”
Seems to sum up the views of US elites pretty succinctly!
