The author of the article is claiming that Powell was not a racist, and the proof he offers for that is that Powell loved his time in India and even learnt two Indian languages. That is not sufficient proof that he was not a racist, and I addressed the reason for this in my previous post. He was a racist, his views were racist, and thus any contributions from him on the immigration debate are marginal and defunct.
