In today's New York Times, in an article about the upcoming film Harold and Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay (which all of us here at OPC are most excited about), the co-writer and co-director Jon Hurwitz describes the H&K worldview thusly: "Race matters to the other characters, but not to Harold and Kumar."
Clearly, Mr. Hurwitz, as befits a member of the cognoscenti, has been reading OPC, for it was only a few months ago that we wrote: "It's fascinating to see the way Harold and Kumar's ethnicity, their Asian-ness, seems to be of primary importance to everyone else in the movie, to everyone except Harold and Kumar themselves, who couldn't seem to care less."
