It's true enough, I suppose, but would have been funnier or truer years ago. PC and multiculturalism are already at least a decade old. You still find such blights in schools and colleges but most thinking people take PC and multiculturalism as bad jokes. Even anti-PC has something of the same musty feeling to it. Some recent thinking about non-western civilizations will be found valid and accepted and contribute to our knowledge. But the woolly-headed speculation and wild claims of recent years will be consigned to the dust bin.

Stromberg also shows too much of his Rockwellite tendencies. Learning about slavery packs a shock at first. Then one learns more about slavery's prominence and persistence in history and sees it in perspective as an enduring institution and way of organizing society. In the end, though, one still ought to be able to feel something of the original shock, if one retains a feeling for justice. Future generations will marvel at our Rockwellistas, libertarians who take slavery in stride.

While I agree with you about some of the propaganda is ignored the leftist programming has had a measurable effect on how young people think. I work with recent college grads and my own kids are recently out of college. While most kids easily shrug-off the revisionist nonsense programmed by the leftist's view of history many kids still cannot. I have met several young women who believe us white males are basically evil and are not to be trusted even though they know better -- this is how they've been programmed to look at us.

Also the code word "diverse" is also used by recent grads to mean, good or very good. So if the cafeteria, has a "diverse" menu, then that means the food is good. If we have a meeting and they say that the participants were a "diverse group" then it was a good meeting. This PC garbage does have an effect.
