Trying to figure out just what "subaltern" meant, I ran across the phrase "white men saving brown women from brown men", and I wanted to know if there was a China dimension for this (footbinding, etc.), so I googled "white men saving brown women from brown men" china. Google asks, did you mean: "white men shaving brown women from brown men" china. What a pervert. Anyway, I ran across this comment by John Hudock at Commonsense & Wonder about just how dangerous it is for the soldiers serving in Iraq.
