Did Agonist even read it? Or does he just assume anyone opposed to quotas and "affirmative action" is a racists? The article was arguing against Aaron Dworkin's attempts to force artificial "diveristy" into orchestras based on extra-musical considerations such as race, at the expense of strictly musical ability. That is not racist, it is anti-racist. Indeed, one could argue that in his intense focus on all things racial, it is Dworkin who is the racist here, not the American Spectator author.Dennishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05989540833040422101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060605.post-47843487990561935282007-03-30T12:53:00.000+01:002007-03-30T12:53:00.000+01:00Interesting link.<A HREF="http://www.wired.com/politics/law/news/2003/04/58346" REL="nofollow">Interesting link.</A>Pliablehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10616598845886342325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060605.post-29080217300012112482007-03-30T07:42:00.000+01:002007-03-30T07:42:00.000+01:00Bigots like to be outraged about reverse discrimin...<I>Bigots like to be outraged about reverse discrimination in theory, while covering up and lying about real discrimination in practice.
