There's something really sick about self-hatred. <br />

JUST IMAGINE an official report from some university in which a professor decries the "culture of Jewishness in the media." Well, the author of the report would quickly be pilloried, politicians would go beet-faced denouncing him and demanding his firing, if not public disemboweling. If we posted his report on the Internet, self-appointed censors like Richard "20 human rights complaints and counting" Warman would file complaint number 21 alleging that our posting was "likely" to expose one of this country's privileged minorities "to hatred or contempt." <br />
<br />
However, it's more than okay to say that an institution is too White. An institution, I might add, founded, built up, endowed and funded by many of the leading founder/settler people of this country who were -- dare we say, and say proudly? -- White. (ILLUSTRATION: "Joy Mighty" speaks.)<br />
<br />
According to Louise Brown of the Toronto Star: 'Queen's University, one of Canada's most academically elite schools, admits it has allowed a "culture of whiteness" to take root that fails to welcome visible minority students and professors. And the university vows to be more aggressive in shedding its reputation as a tony enclave of white privilege, says vice-principal Patrick Deane. Queen's is responding to a critical report prompted by the resignation of six non-white professors several years ago -- as well as recent incidents of white students going out to pubs in controversial "blackface" makeup -- that suggest the Kingston school has done little to try to reflect the diversity of Canada. …' <br />
<br />
The report from the "diversity"-gaga Star continues: 'The university's location in a relatively white part of Ontario, hours from the immigrant settlement hub of Toronto, may account for some of the racial sameness, said Deane in an interview yesterday. Too, because most students at Queen's must pay for accommodation -- few come from Kingston -- the university can seem expensive for students on a tight budget, despite the financial aid available. So, Deane said the university is considering a number of committee recommendations, from setting loose goals for recruiting more visible minority professors and students, to targeting scholarships and grants to students of colour and setting up a resource centre on campus for visible minorities.' <br />
<br />
Well, Kingston is in an overwhelmingly White part of Ontario -- over 95% so. Note the outright racist anti-White discrimination planned, with special scholarships and grants to non-Whites. Would that mean a Chinese student living in Canada with a millionaire father would get a scholarship -- while some bright but poor working-class White would not? You bet! <br />
<br />
There's something really sick about self-hatred. <br />
<br />
The Star continues: 'The committee proposed changes from a more inclusive curriculum to more campus supports, after examining a 2004 report on the lack of diversity at Queen's written by York University professor Frances Henry, an anti-racism expert.' What's a "more inclusive curriculum"? More made-up Black History? A course in sharia law? <br />
<br />
Having Frances Henry write this report is like having a wino write a report on the advisability of Prohibition. Henry has a serious axe to grind. She's an expert, for example, on Jamaicans in Canada and how they've suffered (apparently not enough to head back to Jamaica). <br />
<br />
The Canadian Human Rights Commission used her as an "expert" witness on "racism" for almost a generation. However, two gutsy young fellows, James Richardson and Alexan Kulbashian gave her such a mauling -- both as to her credentials and her expertise -- when she testified at their tribunal that we doubt we'll be seeing her in that role again. Indeed, in his March 10, 2006 decision, one-man Tribunal Athanasios Hadjis concluded of Frances Henry: "Moreover, in the course of her cross-examination, she acknowledged that her studies were in the areas of racism and how it manifests itself, not specifically in the realm of hate propaganda at issue in the present case. Dr. Henry's evidence has therefore had no bearing on my final disposition of this case." (para. 63-64) <br />
<br />
Joy Mighty [Yes, that is her actual name. -- Ed.], a Black professor, does some bitching and moaning for the Star article about the lack of "diversity" at Queen's. Yet, there can't be too much discrimination if she got herself hired. <br />
<br />
"'It can be very frustrating being part of an ethnic minority on campus -- you feel as though you're absolutely invisible,' said black student Rachel LaTouche, president of the African-Caribbean Students' Association, which represents 50 to 60 students." Bummer! That's the downside of being a minority. Perhaps she'd feel more comfortable at a university in Ghana, Gabon, or the Caribbean where she'd be in the majority. <br />
<br />
Say, if "diversity" is such a great value, why don't they practice it at, say, the universities in Karachi, Shanghai, or Kabul (if there is even one there)? Would there be special programmes to attract White North Americans, special scholarships, re-writing the curriculum to reflect our history and values, encouragement for us to "be ourselves" even if we don't fit in? I didn't think so. <br />
