Re: Bob Johnson’s “Stateless” letter in Reader Mail’s
Not
Buying
:

p>Mr. Johnson writes from Texas that he suspects Larry Eubank of
being a fellow transplanted Californian, “doomed to live in another
state” (Indiana, not incidentally, my home state) because of
California politics. I am forcibly reminded by his choice of words
of those hyphenated Americans (African-Americans, Muslim-Americans,
Mexican-Americans, etc.) who are “doomed to live in another
country” (the United States, not incidentally, my homeland) because
of the inhospitable conditions in their country of preference. Or
should I just give Mr. Johnson the benefit of the doubt and assume
he really meant to say “privileged to live in another state”?
