This isn't so much as a parody as
Pareene proving he could crank out columns in the style of the NYT's latest conservative affirmative action hire. It's a joke aimed at his editors, not him, in other words. It's a lot better than an actual column by Stephens (though bad in all the appropriate ways), who is both dumb and lazy. Stephens should just pay Pareene half his salary to
write his column for him be his research assistant.
