a breath of fresh air

Douglas Murray is a young writer who I have recently discovered and who instantly garnered a place on my 'favourite blogs' list. Consider this excerpt:
We have for some time now been in a period in which, as I've often explained, people appear to believe that their "identity" is more important than their ideas.
It is the reason why so many people find it impossible to pose any question from an audience without starting: "As a woman of Indian background", or "As a gay man", and so on. It is very, very tedious. Particularly if you believe people are defined not by their skin colour or sexuality but by the thoughts in their head and the way in which they live their lives.
Amen brother!
