James Dyson (of @Dyson) makes some interesting but unobjectionable observations in this interview with @dgelles of the @NYTimes... and gets thrown under the thought-police bus. (Did our Glorious Party issue new rules this week?) /cc @jeffubois @ninapaley

It seems pretty clear from the context that he was objecting to the trend of plastic surgery among (some) Japanese to make their noses more "Western", and saying that he would prefer physical differences between groups to be left as they are. This is not a horrible opinion.

The go back and re-read the interviewer's introduction. The lack of good faith is breathtaking; it crosses the line from searching for offense (which would be bad enough) to creating offense where there was none.
