Opinion: Democrats revealed on MLK Day they hold only the illusion of inclusion







...After Hillary Clinton's surprising defeat in the presidential election, there's been significant discussion about whether Democrats has become too reliant on identity politics. While a la carte appeals to specific demographic groups may or may not remain a winning electoral strategy, the Left, both before and after the election, has increasingly taken a pernicious step further, demanding full progressive purity in no uncertain terms.

It's why the concept of a black Republican can be discussed openly as though it's an impossible phenomena, and why women who hold pro-life views, much less vote for the GOP, are seen as having sold out the sisterhood. There is an illusion of inclusion on the Left, where flyover country is routinely castigated for being narrow-minded while those living on the coasts are compelled to adhere strictly to the values of social justice and wealth redistribution.

Incapable of detecting the irony, the modern Democratic Party is a paradox, wielding high-minded claims of diversity and heavy-handed clamps on dissent.

If segregation were the answer to diversity and inclusion, millions of Americans had it wrong during the Civil Rights movement.



You would think that not many would conclude that the best way to increase diversity and inclusion on college campuses would be to facilitate and promote segregation in student housing. Yet, that conclusion has been reached by university administrators and segregated campus housing already exists or is coming to a California university near you.

While emphasizing diversity and inclusion on campus, segregated housing is being facilitated and promoted throughout the University of California and California State University systems.

The game plan for creation of segregated housing on campus is follows: The Black Student Union demands alternative housing for black students because of racially insensitive remarks and micro-aggressions on campus; a university committee is formed and agrees to provide the requested segregated housing; the segregated housing is made available by the university in the following semester; the segregated housing unit is given a non-multi-cultural welcoming name such as the Black Scholars Hall at UCI, the Afro House at Berkeley or the Halisi Scholars Black Living-Learning Community at CSULA; a necessary pledge to live in this segregated housing requires each student to agree to participate in a multitude of cultural activities involving a single race and having nothing to do with their academic regimen; finding a university administrator to state “This community is open to all students. This living-learning community focuses on academic excellence and learning experiences that are inclusive and non-discriminatory”; and university administrators insuring that the university will refuse to collect and/or provide the racial makeup of any of the segregated housing units....

Segregation in campus housing is no more right today when demanded by minority groups than it was right in 1963 when demanded by a white majority. Shame on our universities....

Reuters: GOP Field Too Diverse for Ted Cruz to ‘Catch Fire’ with Latinos


...To Latinos, Cruz often feels more like an afterthought. And while that’s largely attributed to his hard-right stance on immigration reform, prominent Hispanic conservatives offered insight as to why his problems with Latinos run deeper. Rubio, they said, has embraced his ethnic identity in a way that Cruz, who speaks little Spanish, has not or will not.
What they’re essentially saying is that the field’s diversity makes it difficult for Cruz to be a token, which is the Democrats’ approach to such things.

All of that “blah, blah” about the embrace of his identity and Spanish speaking skills is only brought up because he is a Republican. The two Latino golden boys of the Democratic party at the moment are Julián and Joaquín Castro are still at the “¿Dónde está el baño por favor?” stage of their Spanish learning development. If that’s the litmus test, I’d be the ranking Latino if the three of us were hanging out. Also, if either Cruz or Rubio make it onto the GOP ticket, Joaquín Castro will almost certainly be given the Veep slot on the Democrat ticket because of the aforementioned leftist tokenism when it comes to race and ethnicity.

Cruz embraces being an American, and we all know how that irritates leftists.
