1. Would it be wrong to have a bake sale
and have Bush cookies since Bush is the perfect example of affirmative action for the rich and powerful and stupid

4. How this can be countered
Have some people wear white sheets and hoods, set up a card table that says Kolumbia Konservative Klub (KKK).

8. what about their point

Multicultural diversity in today’s world has become a system of racist quotas and percentages. What is more demeaning to a man than to tell him he was hired based on his skin color rather than his ability? Who among you would feel comfortable telling your co-worker she was promoted merely because the company has no Asian supervisors? Dr. Martin Luther King’s dream has become the opposite of what he imagined. According to the multiculturalists the content of a man’s character is not as important as his ethnicity. The potential of any individual is not limited by some minute genetic trait such as dark hair or pale complexion. If Omniculturalism (have I added a word to the English language?) or the promotion of a single culture, is racist because it bases worth on belonging to the collective and not the achievement of the individual. Why then do we promote Multiculturalism that not only ignores individual achievement, but fractures the collective into warring factions by its emphasis on the differences in people and ignorance of the similarities we all share?

9. Actually what about the person who wasn't hired because
of skin color or maybe because they were too fat? I personally know of many instances of this happening and it was at a time when there weren't any laws to counter it.

When the laws changed, the new brown people and female people allowed into the workplace weren't any less qualified than the lily white males, but at least this time they got a chance to work at a job they were qualifed for.

10. I really don't think these kids care about someone's "feelings"
Edited on Fri Feb-06-04 07:56 PM by Iris
Remember that is one of the things they hate about liberals.

So, why would they care how a man who was told he was hired on the basis of this skin color feels?

One of these bake sales was held at Southern Methodist University - a place where I don't think you'll find a lot of white kids who are gonna miss out on too many opportunities in the future no matter how white they are.

12. How do you feel about white people being selected for decades based
on the color of their skin? The selection process didn't seem to bother them when they benefited. Still doesn't
