[Buddha-l] "Western Self, Asian Other"

[JKirkpatrick]

RH:
My impression is that if Western Buddhologists have a fault (an
outrageous thing to suggest!), it is that they tend to be as
excessively blind to possible shortcomings in Buddhism as Said
claims Islamicists are blind to the positive aspects of Islam. If
anything, Western Buddhologists (and I include here those who do
claim in any way to be Buddhist themselves) are the very opposite
of Saidian Orientalists. 

I would appreciate some examples or refs here...thanks. Somehow,
I can't share this view, but then I'm not a Buddhologist either.
