Reading about all this PC-ethnic garbage, I’m firmly convinced that parochial colleges are the way to go. The religion creates a shared culture, where there is room for self-expression without worrying whether someone is offended. Although Jewish, I admired some of these Christian colleges with lily-white choirs singing “Negro spirituals.” (They’re quite good, too — quite professional.) So far no African-American has gotten up to voice complaint.

This business about tacos on 5 Mayo just shows how totally superficial multiculturalism is. On Chanukah, Jews traditionally eat potato pancakes (latkes), because they are fried in oil. I could care less if someone “outside the tribe” eats it.

In a similar vein, many classic rock and roll hits originally done by Black R&B singers, such as Elvis Presley's "Hound Dog", first done by Big Mama Thornton years earkier. There were also songs written by Whites made into big hits by Blacks, for example Slippin' and Slidin' by Little Richard and Brown Eyed Handsome Man by Chubby Checker, both written by a nerdy-looking White guy named Buddy Holly.
