Hat tip Campus Reform

So you want to serve in some university student government position on inclusion and diversity, do you? Here is what happened at Northwestern University.

Do you see how ridiculous this has become? Are we going backwards in our efforts over the decades to put racial differences behind us?
This is the result of the whole "Diversity Industry". Instead of having a young generation of young Americans who otherwise would be free of the prejudices of their fathers' and grandfathers' generations, we have this insanity.
Here's my suggestion: Universities should forget about this whole diversity, inclusion, sexual orientation and gender identification business. It is counter-productive. Get rid of these so-called Cross Cultural Centers on campus that only encourage tribalization and division. All we ever hear about on campus is, "people of color" (but never colored people), "brown people", "white people", "queers" (which used to be an epithet) and some alphabet concoction I can't memorize that covers every sexual persuasion imaginable-whether we care any more or not.
Once upon a time, there was a man who told us we should judge people on the content of their character and not on the color of their skin. We listened. It seems his message has, in a perverse way, been forgotten.
What was his name?
Is that Martin Luther King?

Oh, that's nothing. I remember a foundation formed by left leaning youthful heirs of large capitalist fortunes who decided they should empower a community board to decide how the money was allocated, instead of exercising their white skin privilege to do that themselves.
ReplyDeleteA young lady of Japanese descent working on the administration of this project told an African American mother of three, a domestic worker who had led an effort to establish collective bargaining rights for in-home workers, that she wasn't suitable for the community board because she didn't have "sufficient contact with the black community."
