THIS is a Ph.D? A Ph.D can write sentences like this?

Having just returned from a "Semester at Sea" voyage around the world, the statement made by Baha'u'llah 150 years ago, "The Earth is but one country, and mankind its citizens," means more to me now than ever. [The statement just returned from a voyage around the world?]

Even though I was born with certain unearned "white privileges," anything I have access to that they don't, I feel uncomfortable with. [This is about as incomprehensible a sentence as it's possible to write.]

As a white person, Maine's diversity issues are my issues, too. [Maine's diversity issues are a white person?]

Anyone who writes sentences like that should have his doctorate revoked immediately.

I also have a problem with people who demand that "America become more diverse." America is already the most diverse country on earth. If you want the world to be more diverse, go to China or Pakistan and demand that they become more diverse. Why is it only we who must be educated?

Ah, America the Beautiful!

A great example of the richness that comes from a mixture of cultures and ideas.

Not sure if he was thinking in terms of America. Perhaps he was thinking in terms of the diversity of the world and an appreciation of it.
