More on Wealth/Race
I’ve given this issue more thought ever since I finished my last post on the subject. My opinion regarding multiculturalism and political correctness hasn’t changed and I feel the need to explain why multiculturalism is keeping the problem afloat. Racism is any view that sees skin color. Whether men choose to glorify or frown upon differences in skin color is irrelevent. The problem is simply that most men pay more attention to skin color than to other factors such as hair color. Men do not judge one another based on hair or eye color, so why is skin any different? In fact, it isn’t. Unfortunately, many institutions are too underdeveloped to make such a logical realization. Colleges brag about diversity, and there is many an instance where a minority student has been accepted, and a white student of equal achievement has been deferred. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I for one think that “racism” would be a proper and fitting term to describe such an event. People advocating diversity in this manner are, in essence, racists.
“Advocates of “diversity” claim that because the real world is diverse, the campus should reflect that fact. But why should a campus population “reflect” the general population (particularly the ethnic population)? No answer. In fact, the purpose of a university is to impart knowledge and develop reasoning, not to be a demographic mirror of society.” -Michael S. Berliner
