![]() ![]() ![]() “Diversity” is a stellar example of the breed. I’m not especially fond of code words they tend to conceal a multitude of agendas. Those who stand in opposition to it must be condemned as bigots, oppressors and - worst of all - Republicans! All right-thinking people have an obligation to help diversity flourish. We empower them by boosting their representation in academic and professional life, and by renouncing the primitive prejudices that made them second-class citizens in the first place. Is that the kind of society Righty (I almost said “Whitey”) would have us celebrate? We need to empower individuals of all colors, genders and sexualities if we truly want to build an egalitarian society. ![]() In those halcyon days, blacks, Hispanics, gays and even women were essentially disenfranchised and hidden discreetly from view. ![]() Lefty: I’m sure Righty would like nothing better than to whisk us back to the Eisenhower era, when America’s unofficially sanctioned national color was lily white. But I don’t see why we should have to send out engraved invitations to encourage them. I’m fine with blacks or gays moving into my neck of the woods as long as they’re decent, law-abiding citizens who embrace our Christian way of life. I’m no bigot, but I’m comfortable among my own kind and I don’t see why we should have to include quotas of various favored minorities in every neighborhood, company, school, and TV show. Nobody who sends his kids to a private school is morally entitled to rhapsodize about diversity or impose it on others. The difference between them and me is that I’m honest enough to admit it. Even Lefty’s pampered, privately educated liberal friends do it. Righty: Why do bleeding hearts on the left continue to gush about “diversity” when the guests at their dinner parties are almost exclusively white and upper middle class? I don’t detect much “diversity” among all you Chardonnay-sippers, eh Lefty? The fact is, most of us instinctively gravitate toward others like ourselves. ![]()
