True. Neil is a racist.

Bullshit. Every post-colonial argument includes his type of comment. And he did not mention whites explicitly. There is nothing interesting or unusual in what he says, as he joins many others in saying the same thing.

What's perhaps ineresting is that post-colonial theory is rather myopic, avoiding the lessons of macro-historical developments in general. The real issue is that statecraft should not have to include the abuses of the 'other', and that diversity is a strength in contemporary geopolitics.
