Richard Cohen, that is. He's written one awful column after another, but his piece on interracial marriage really takes the cake. There's no justification for this. Or his future employment at the Post.
And no, Mr. Weigel, the problem with the column is not that Cohen's bigoted remarks can't be supported by facts. Bigotry, by definition, can never be supported by facts. No one can prove that all members of a specific segment of the human race carry a specific positive or negative quality. The problem with the column is that it's bigoted--and the Post, by publishing the column, has bought into that bigotry. It can only redeem itself by firing the source of the bigotry.
Right now.
