"Anti-American"

Arundhati Roy, famous (some would prefer "infamous") for her critical article written in the aftermath of Sep. 11 -- I mean Sep. 11 2001, I guess we have to start saying that now, or call it "nine eleven oh one" -- has not been intimidated by the subsequent demonization she and others have suffered. In her most recent piece in The Guardian (U.K.), she wonders:

Recently, those who have criticised the actions of the US government (myself included) have been called "anti-American".... What does the term mean? That you're anti-jazz? Or that you're opposed to free speech? That you don't delight in Toni Morrison or John Updike? That you have a quarrel with giant sequoias?...
 
To call someone anti-American, indeed, to be anti-American, is not just racist, it's a failure of the imagination. An inability to see the world in terms other than those that the establishment has set out for you: If you don't love us, you hate us. If you're not good, you're evil. If you're not with us, you're with the terrorists.
