It's not racist if "the left" says it

Saudi Arabia is far more ethnically diverse than most Westerners realize.

Bandar bin Sultan, the former Saudi ambassador to the United States, is the son of Prince Sultan and a dark-skinned concubine from southern Saudi Arabia.

It ain't sexist if "the left" says it neither. Also, full points to the New York Times for not bothering to read their own copy (can't say that I blame them). This is the very next sentence. Bandar bin Sultan was born in 1949, btw.

But slavery was practiced here too, and was abolished only in 1962.

Whereas being a concubine is a lifestyle choice.
