The author does everything he says the Indians should not in this article. They should not be proud of their ancestors but he is, they should not vilify Columbus yet he vilifies Indians, they should not have a racist view yet he clearly does. The man is a hypocrite.

The author is a realist. Your view of the author as a racist is an indication that you have bought into the erroneous "Noble Savage" myth.

Thus the sham of "preserving one's heritage" as a rational life goal. Thus the cruel hoax of "multicultural education" as an antidote to racism: it will continue to create more racism. Individualism is the only alternative to the racism of political correctness. We must recognize that everyone is a sovereign entity, with the power of choice and independent judgment. That is the ultimate value of Western civilization, and it should be proudly proclaimed.-Michael Berliner, Capitalism Magazine

Author advocates a rationalist choice: choose Western civilization because it is superior.

I detest the multiculturalist notion that all cultures are equal: it is a tenet of a moribund philosophy.

However, the author seems to jump the shark just a bit by rejecting "heritage". I detest rationalists, too.

The author is just dishing out the same hate, lies and disrespect that the Indians are. This article is nothing more than tit for tat.

LOL. My views of the author are based solely on this article and have nothing to do with the issue of good Indian/bad Indian or good European/bad European. Someone (like this author) who extols the superiority of one race over that of another, is in fact the exact definition of a racist. Look it up.

You presume that because I disagree with the author’s tactics that I must be in agreement with the multiculturists. You are wrong. I believe that we should celebrate Columbus for his outstanding accomplishments. I also believe that the Indians are being hypocritical when they say that Columbus accomplished no great thing, yet blame all of their problems on what he did. You cannot blame the evils of an entire civilization on a man who did nothing great.

We should not stoop to the tactics of half-truths, racism, and vilification as the mulitculturists/Indians and author of this article has. I would rather loose an argument on its merits, than to win it by slander or deception.
