Yeah, I hadn't hear of him myself until I started seeing rumblings about him all over Facebook a couple of months ago and how he was about to publish a book. Folks were (rightfully) pissed that Schuster was giving such a platform to an open racist.
I had a lot of mixed feelings about it because Ann Coulter has books out as well that are openly racist so part of me was all "Let this asshole get out into the limelight of the media and expose himself for all of his grossness" but the other part of me is all "How dare a publishing house try to profit off of racism and homophobia". Still, it's been done for years so this is nothing new.
I am agog most days at how open racism, sexism, and homophobia are the "norm" in certain (all) political arenas. I don't even know what my point is here, except to say that I am completely grossed the fuck out by Milo Yiannopoulous and anyone who supports him or his ideas.
