In world of racial diversity, what is 'white'?

Justine Steele is a senior at Independence High School in San Jose, a sprawling campus of 4,054 students where 8 percent are Caucasian. Forget the numbers. "Look around," she says. There are Indians and Vietnamese, Mexicans and Filipinos.

Here, a girl with blonde hair and blue eyes stands out.

heheheh.

well call it the illimination of the founding culture along with the constitution and founding fathers and Christianity...

That is "diversities" real aim.... The takeover and re-inventing America along globalist lines...
The new world odor

the Caucasian Student Union had a table; its founders, Peter Maglaty and Matt Matier (son of Chronicle columnist Phil Matier) stood beside it. Peter wore a Confederate flag belt buckle. That caused a "disruption," says Randall Booker, the school's assistant principal.

Sounds familiar, right? Consider the following:

Black students gather around an African Unity student group table. One boy wears a belt buckle adorned with the familiar sihouette of the African continent, overpainted with a tricolor of yellow, black and green. His shirt says, "It's a Black Thing, You Wouldn't Understand..."

Not too outlandish, right? Run of the mill, actually.

But let's say that in face of this, white students rush up, distraught. They angrily confront the group over the choice of their symbols and slogans. They take issue with their divisive literature. Larger boys stand around menacingly, their arms crossed in front. Some even shout --it looks like violence could explode.

An worried administrator arrives to try to keep a lid on things. He attempts to calm the angry white students, but later it is clear that his ire is directed at the blacks; he wants them to stop what they're doing, and he's going to make sure that happens.

"Your clothes and the things you're saying --don't you realize you're causing a DISRUPTION?"

Well, now, how likely is this reaction? Have you ever seen this kind of scenario? Well, of course it's completely over the top --it might have happened 35 years ago, but now it wouldn't happen in a million years.

You see the hyprocrisy, right? You do see that this is unsustainable?

The real question or problem is “WHY DO THEY HAVE MULTICULTURAL RALLIES, AND ETHNIC GROUPS?” WE ARE ALL AMERICANS. If they think their ethnic group is so great, why are they here? People use to come to America and adapt our culture, now they come here for the money only and could care less. THIS IS A NATIONAL DISGRACE. If your in America, become an American, which means taking up our values and ideals and only incorporating the best of your culture, and leaving the rest behind. BORDERS, LANGUAGE, CULTURE.

i have recently seen crickett being played in parks in new york, such as bear mountain park. as much as we all knock "DIVERSITY", real diversity does actually add things.

"the Asians and the Latinos, for example -- have something tangible to call their culture."

The PC crowd has decided that any culture related to caucasians is racist and may no longer be observed.
The only culture whites are allowed these days is one
of guilt and appeasement. It is absolutely impossible to have a remote shred of racial pride in one's race if white, as one would be racist to do so. (mild sarcasm)

Cool, but I don't think it will catch on in the mountains of New Mexico.

I agree completely, as long as that "diversity" is democratically chosen.

However, the concept of "diversity" is not part of our present civic "religion," enshrined just this summer as a "constitutionally" sanctioned value, because the American electorate has been clamoring for it for the past five decades (Ever hear in an election campaign in the past few decades someone ask "I wanna ask Candidate Smith this question: when am I going to get to live next door to some Somalis?????").

No, it's been imposed on us from "above" by unelected bureaucratic, academic, media and judicial elites. As such, it is a totalitarian ideology, not a democratic one. And the fact that it is an undemocratically imposed "value" overrides all the benefits (like cricket playing in NY parks) that you can postulate.

Saw a neat bumper sticker - "The New World Order has a Third Reich Odor".

i basically agree with what you are saying. i was using quotation marks and caps to differentiate "DIVERSITY" (the totalitarian version) from diversity (the english language word.

So in discussions outside and inside the classroom, when the words "diversity" and "multiculturalism" are tossed around, there are those like Justine who wonder -- either loudly or quietly -- where they fit in.

Where they fit in?

They don't.
