[Smile-n-Win]

I don't like to see us apologize to foreigners, but we really do owe the Austrians an apology on this one.

If the story is true, then I agree. But I find the story highly suspect. I googled it and nothing came up.

Googled "diversity officer".

I googled those two words in quotes and got 69,900 hits. You couldn't have read them all that fast! :-)

(Kidding, honest--I have a nasty streak in my humor.)

It is also scary that there are thousands of "diversity officers" running around on the planet. Gag me with a spoon!

(Off to see if I can find a "diversity officer" in the US embassy somewhere in Austria--background music, Schubert's ninth symphony. :-) )

I found "http://www.usembassy.at/en/embassy/culture.htm" which does talk about representing minorities so maybe there is such an officer wandering around the embassy...
