Beginning of Arthur Chu's Wiki entry: Arthur Chu (born January 30, 1984) is an American game show contestant and columnist...

Gee, if I wanted to eliminate an Old White Guy like Dawkins from leadership in the atheist community, how would I go about it? Spend several decades working in science and receive some of its highest accolades? Write a slew of best-selling books?

Why hell no. I'd make a name for myself as a game show contestant. Then crap out envy-laden articles for Salon DEMANDING that me and my equally incompetent, non-acheiving friends be put in charge of leading the Atheist Movement.

I've read quite a lot of hogswallop from Chu and his friends. And based on that, I wouldn't trust them to successfully complete an Atheist Bowel Movement.

The swipe at "white Americans" including Dawkins is puzzling. Though I've seen a couple of similar Weirdities on the internet. Like Idris Elba described as "a great African-American actor" (he's British). And even weirder, Nelson Mandela described as a "great African-American leader" (he's just African, of course).

Maybe they think all black people are American? Surely not, since they're always screeching "racism" and "misogyny" from the rooftops. I mean, if anybody's an expert in racism, it should be the Chu Crew.

Adding - Soon as I saw the Dawkins gripe and the Salon link, I knew it would be either Arthur Chu or Adam Lee. While bitterly attacking Dawkins whenever possible, Lee's Salon tagline used to have a blatantly obsequious, fawning name-drop of Dawkins. I think RD approved of something Lee had written. I was going to write "blatantly ass-kissing" but I'm trying to be a nicer person. And if you believe that, I just translated some golden tablets...
