Link: Politics Wrapped in a Clothing Ad – New York Times.
"In a new series of ads, American Apparel is moving in a political direction. The cause is immigration reform, and the ads say in part that the status quo ‘amounts to an apartheid system’ and should be overhauled to create a legal path for undocumented workers to gain citizenship in the United States."
The piece goes on to quote a dessicated professor who is an expert on immgration, who states that the "apartheid" term can’t possibly be accurate because these people are breaking the law. Well, tiger, I gotta tell ya — apartheid was the law of the land in South Africa, too. If what we’re doing were not apartheid then we’d be building a big anti-immigrant wall on the Canadian border, too, wouldn’t we?
