The response to 9/11 and to Dominique Strauss-Kahn’s recent encounter with an African chambermaid in a New York hotel have very little in common, except for one thing: once again, cultural conflict was invoked in a misleading way.
9·11事件所遭致的反应以及斯特劳斯-卡恩在纽约饭店中与非洲女佣的过节之间毫无共通之处，但在一点上，它们有异曲同工之妙：在卡恩事件中，文化冲突再次起到了误导作用。
