critical theory with slavoj zizek: I was…admonished for Political Incorrectness: one should not associate someone’s ethnic identity with a physical feature or a name, because all this just bolsters racial cliches and prejudices. To my ensuing query about how, then, one should identify ethnic belonging, I got a clear and radical answer: in no way, by means of no particular feature, because every such identification is potentially oppressive in constraining a person to his or her particular identity… is this not a perfect contemporary example of what Kierkegaard had in mind? One should love one’s neighbors (African-Americans, in this case) only insofar as they are implicitly deprived of all their particular characteristics - in short, insofar as they are treated as already dead.
