The Paradox of "Racial Diversity"

Alleged bigotry toward white caucasions by "multicultural" student club at allegedly Catholic Santa Clara University.

In their quest to get more space to accommodate an expanding number of cultural clubs, students of the campus's Multicultural Center (MCC) sought support from the student body last month when they felt their efforts with the administration had stalled.

But what they got instead was a barrage of anonymous chat-room postings criticizing the center for being exclusionary and for producing center T-shirts with a collage of smiley faces some thought are racist against whites.

"Personally, as a white student, I don't feel welcome in the MCC,'' one student wrote in response to the chat-room question, Should SCU make more space for the MCC? "Those 'See Me' shirts were so racist, with the white faces singled out and made to look expressionless next to the smiling faces of color. Any center that promotes that sort of bigotry should not be a part of this campus.''

I often wonder if any of these lefty multicuturalists have ever stopped to think for a moment that they are engaging in the very type of racial stereotyping they say they abhor when they presume that race and/or ethnicity dictates the manner by which a person acts or thinks. If you don't believe they do this, ask them their opinion of people like Condeleeza Rice and Justice Clarence Thomas. I guarantee you that they will toss around the words "Uncle Tom" at least once.
