10/04/2008: "Defenders of multi-culturalism rely on cries of "racism.""

Perhaps it makes sense that invoking "racism" and "diversity" makes me skeptical. Accusing detractors of hating diversity if they do not support the protestors is like saying someone is un-Christian if they do not support Pat Robertson.

Just as Pat Robertson has distorted Christianity, these protestors have distorted diversity. And there is no greater distortion than the use of diversity as a means to attack freedom of speech, and thus the principles of the Constitution.

A few years ago, L.A. Times Columnist Gregory Rodriguez made the case that the problems with academic scholarship lie not with leftists and Marxists but with "craven emotional warriors in the arena of identity politics." Rodriguez identified ethnic studies departments as one of the most likely places among many to harbor these warriors.

[ "Racism" seems to mean opposition to multiculturalism, thus as good as criminalising anyone who observes the failure such societies. ]
