The Baleful Cargo of Woke Diversity Worship

 Fabricators

  • Fabricators like George Santos, Joe Biden, Elizabeth Warren, and Barack Obama all lied about their identities
  • They sought fraudulent ways of suggesting their ancestries were marginalized
  • George Santos claimed to be an "American Jew" and a "Latino Jew," and a descendent of Holocaust survivors
  • Joe Biden lied that he went to "shul"
  • Elizabeth Warren claimed her high cheekbones were proof of her Native-American ancestry
  • Somehow the half-white, prep-schooled Barry Soetoro, who had taken his Indonesian stepfather's last name, rebooted in the university back to Barack Obama

A Society of Lies

  • In a world in which there are too many oppressed for the static number of oppressors, then it is perfectly logical that an Elizabeth Warren on the one hand would fabricate an advantageous identity for careerist opportunity
  • Jussie Smollett on the other hand would invent mythical white MAGA demons to ensure he was victimized and deserving of careerist reparations for his suffering
  • Entire areas of social and political reality are now set off and exempt from rational discussion
  • We are witnessing an upsurge in black-male crime, often descending into disproportionate hate crimes perpetrated against Asians and Jews
  • Any discussion of this violence is taboo, lest one is deemed racist or illiberal

Against Meritocracy

  • The old 1970s cynical canard that racial quotas would not extend to pilot training or neurosurgery is no longer true
  • Major airlines have announced mandatory non-white acceptance quotas for pilot training
  • Many universities and professional schools are considering adopting pass/fail grading
  • Licensing boards are next
  • If one is admitted to universities on diversity, equity, and inclusion concerns rather than demonstrable achievement as quantifiably determined by competitive grades and test scores and other definable exceptional achievements, and one is further graduated on the assurance that grades either will not be issued or will be inflated, then the logical next step is that licensing exam standards in law or medicine must likewise be relaxed so as not to interrupt the ever-lengthening wokeist chain

The Best We’ve Got?

  • Diversity is neither a strength nor a weakness.
  • Just as uniformity can result in both stability and stagnation, so can diversity sometimes ensure either dynamism or bedlam
  • Tribalism is the critical determinative
  • The same is true of diversity. Accentuate it; sharpen differences; treat individuals as part of tribal collectives-and a descent into violence and anarchy is assured
  • Consider tribal differences superficial, and human commonality more important than racial difference
