On Point: Diversity drivel
Rocky Mountain News ^ | 7 Feb 07 | Vincent Carroll

'Most white people most of the time" share the belief that "bland is best" when it comes to aesthetics. They believe that "wealth equals worth" and that a wife is "subordinate to (her) husband."

In communicating, white people "don't show emotion" and "avoid conflict, intimacy."

They share an ethic of "win at all costs" and possess a "master and control nature."

Had enough of this bigoted, juvenile, trashy analysis? Unfortunately, I'm merely quoting from a sheet distributed recently to some teachers at Cimarron Elementary School in Aurora as part of the diversity training set in motion last year by the Cherry Creek School District.

And if a teacher strays from the script it's off to Rehab.

Just imagine if a white administrator distributed something like this concerning a minority group.

Yeah. That's why they outperform all other groups.

The diversity nonsense is everywhere and what you present here is similar to statements I have seen at other times in other places.

This Sunday under the keyword: Diversity, I will continue my series with an interesting quote from someone who is a diversity official at a major university.

It parallels what you have here.

And my thesis if there is one to my series is that diversity is just another way for followers of Karl Marx to create the conflict they desire to bring about revolution and socialism-communism in the world.

Female teachers in sour grapes mode pouting because they haven't been awarded the larger share of the pie.

Start it out with a stereotype (while trying to fight stereotyping). Great beginning, great example of PC hypocrisy!

"bland is best" ...
My transposition of this characteristic sounds much better: "Nothing to extremes; moderation in all things; don't go overboard; keep an even keel; hedge your bets; diversify your portfolio; keep your eyes on the road, your hand upon the wheel; if winning at the game of life is bland, I'll take bland for the rest of my life; if losing at the game of life is spicy and exciting, I'll stay bored, out of jail, car wrecks, injuries and being a disease-ridden, drug-addicted loser who gets shot by cops".

..."wealth equals worth"
This is better: "Wealth is one of the best measures of the value of your choices in life; wealth is one of the handiest tools a person can possess -- for it affords one the opportunity to walk on top of life's circumstances instead of being steamrolled by them. It also enables one to be of assistance to others. Poor people can't help anybody; and rich liberals choose not to."

I have more translations; but so little time to refute this drivel. But, hey - - gotta let 'em have their drivel rights.

And folks have the gall to wonder why whites don't care to be the minority in this country. We know what's coming with that and it ain't gonna be pretty.

And as long as we're generalizing ..... most liberals, most of the time, are bigots.

I thought all these academia lefties were against stereotyping? And even if they were for stereotyping, do you mean to tell me that white western societies are more patriarchal than say, Latin or Asian societies? Dear God, what is happening to this country?
