dreadedcandiru2Remember how I keep harping on about the nit-witted racism that accompanies all the breezy bullshit about how Pablo Could Not Survive The Canadian Winter or how Paul Wright Is Made Of Snow And Will Melt? Well, if Lynn's stupid travelogues didn't get you to realize that Patterson means paternalistic moron who doesn't own his or her own knee-jerk racism, Elly's insistence on thinking of Mtigwaki as being a set piece from Nat Geo instead of a real community is going to seal the deal. As I've said in the past, we're dealing with an unreflective mind who accepts the pompous bloviation of her Social Studies textbooks as gospel owing to her growing up stupid under the Red Ensign.
This would be bad enough were it not for the fact that Liz's reaction to having her nose rubbed into a steaming pile of the reality that Paul simply wasn't able to transfer on a whim and that he ended up falling hard for someone with brains, class and honesty was to witlessly declare that her imbecile mother was right about the dusky heathens and their strange and hostile ways. To admit that she'd randomly damned good people because she couldn't take too much objective reality owing to the substance showing her to be a clingy, unrealistic and jealous cow with a distinct absence of morals and empathy would be implausible so we get shit about beaus and arrows from an empty-headed bitch who's probably in the process of brainlessly alienating her step-daughter because she's from the other solitude.
