Recently declassified White House tapes reveal how President Nixon’s racism and misogyny led him to ignore the genocidal violence of the Pakistani military in what is today Bangladesh. Gary J. Bass writes about The Terrible Cost of Presidential Racism (warning, racist language) [SLNYT]

“Undoubtedly the most unattractive women in the world are the Indian women,” said Mr. Nixon. “Undoubtedly,” he repeated, with a venomous tone. He continued, “The most sexless, nothing, these people. I mean, people say, what about the Black Africans? Well, you can see something, the vitality there, I mean they have a little animallike charm, but God, those Indians, ack, pathetic. Uch.”

This post was deleted for the following reason: It's ok to post about this article but the thread will go better with a different framing that (a) doesn't reproduce a bunch of his gross remarks right up top and (b) doesn't seem like it's offering "just how unattractive are different women" up as a thing to debate - contact us about reframing? -- LobsterMitten
