Problems with Diversity Part 6
It has become increasingly popular to speak of racial and ethnic diversity as a civic strength.

But a massive new study, based on detailed interviews of nearly 30,000 people across America, has concluded just the opposite. Harvard… Continue reading Problems with Diversity Part 6

Problems with Diversity Part 5
Make no mistake: Whether prosaically defined as affirmative action or disguised by the powdered and perfumed sophistry of supposedly “holistic” admissions practices (where, it is claimed, race is “only one of many factors” considered), “diversity” is discrimination based on race and ethnicity. Whether in admissions or hiring, its purpose and effect is the selection of… Continue reading Problems with Diversity Part 5
