"It's one thing to talk about liberals or conservatives," said Kerry Kite, CU's diversity director. "There's a big difference to come out and crack jokes that have some sort of meaning. But to just defame other cultures and ethnicities is just plain ignorant."

I know, I know, what I'm about to say is not exactly on point. However, it's been said before but it must be pointed out again, that liberals have had no problem defaming conservatives for years. I realize that conservatives are not as such a "culture" or "ethnicity," but the defamation is still inexcusable. That being said, I wish "Diversity Director" Kite would have pointed out an example of the defamation. This is assuming of course, that Kite may have provided an example but it was left out of the article.

Oh, I don't know. While there isn't a "white" culture per se, there is certainly an Anglo-American tradition. There are also values that are deeply ingrained in portions of that tradition that could rightly be called "culture." A majority of "white" Americans share a common religious faith (Christian). There is also the commonality of faith in the Jewish "culture," which is largely "white." Another good example is the relentless bashing and degrading of traditionally southern culture. The "defaming" of these cultures, however, is fashionable, so it is unlikely that this dim bulb is capable of seeing the left's actions and the promotion of their ideologies in that light let alone understand that WE are deeply offended or that what they are doing has become completely unacceptable and that we are losing our ability to be "tolerant," and rightfully so. It is also key as to why the democRATs have alienated the south. If they have no respect for us, they shouldn't expect that we will have respect for them.

I've said for years we ought to all have bumper stickers that say:

"Honor Diversity...Vote Republican."
