A nice takedown of a stupid concept here:
The video even mentions my old friend Edward Said.

BIG HOMINID'S TEES
WHAT CORN AND PEANUTS ARE HIDDEN IN THE WARM AND STEAMING PILE?
Vapid cultural commentary, pungent reviews, sundry Korea-related musings, fartological/scatological humor, political flatulence, and nondualistic Zen excretions in prose or poetry form.
Got a beef? Write the Hominid at bighominid@gmail.com, and put "HAIRY CHASMS" in the subject line, or your mail will be automatically trashed by Satan, my beautiful but deadly spam filter. Assume your mail will be published (editing at my discretion), unless you specify otherwise. Welcome to my backside.
BLOGROLLING POLICY: I don't do mutual linkage, and I have no problem with asymmetrical linkage: I link to bloggers who don't link back, and that's fine by me. Please DO NOT ask to be linked. Please DO NOT expect linkage just because you've linked to me. Also, if I don't link to you, please do not assume I think your blog sucks.

I agree completely. If you watch the video, you see that the issue is dealt with, albeit strangely. Shoe0nHead is critiquing Anita Sarkeesian, who affirms that Islam is not a race, but who insists that Islamophobia is nevertheless racism... because Edward Said, basically. Shoe is right to take Anita to task on this point.
I've blogged before about my reasons for disliking Said's Orientalism, which I find monumentally hypocritical because Said spends his entire time vilifying the West for creating a concept called "the Orient" that can then be objectified, raped, and pillaged... but in order to deploy his critique, Said must first create a construct called "the West" that he can then objectify and excoriate. You can't shout, "Objectifier!" while objectifying.
