Paragraph of the Day: John Andrews Sees ‘Diversity’ and ‘Multiculturalism’ As the New Racism

The term “New Racism” is mine, but in his January 21 column on the New Year’s Eve murder of Denver Broncos football player Darrent Williams (”Dr. King wept when Darrent died”), Andrews cut through the clutter and babble in one succinct paragraph and nails the true character of modern “diversity” and “multiculturalism” (bolds are mine):

Consider, instead, the moral bankruptcy implicit in our designating gangsters as just another “culture” in the first place. Criminality and bloodlust aren’t a culture, they are a pathology. Multiculturalism started benignly with diverse foods and fashions. But now, with its spineless tolerance for every group’s redefinition of right and wrong, multiculturalism invites social suicide. Too bad, we say, but that’s just the way “those people” are.

Really, how racist is that?

UPDATE, Jan. 23: Burt Prelutsky has a great related column (HT Large Bill), which is a full must-read, and has this zinger related to the Andrews excerpt above –

Actually, what most whites are is cowardly. When we see black kids with the top of their baggy pants drooping somewhere south of their butts, annoying people with their ear-splitting boom boxes, saying “they be” when they mean “they are,” and we pretend that theirs is a different, but equally fine culture as our own, we’re no better than those enablers who give money to drug addicts or booze to alcoholics.
