It seems the "American workplace" (to use the Times description) that is the New Haven fire department has a higher percentage of minorities than the American workplace that is ... yes indeed ... the New York Times editorial board its very self. To be quite specific:• The New Haven fire department, according to press accounts, is 43% black and Latino. Or, if you prefer the term of art, 43% of the fire department is "minority."
• The New York Times editorial board, according to the information provided by The New York Times, is -- wait for it -- 12% black and Latino. Or, again, 12 % "minority" if you prefer the term.
• The New York Times Op-Ed page team of columnists, an elite group of which Ms. Dowd is a star, is 19% black and, again according to the Times listing of its Op-Ed page columnists, 0% Latino.
That's right. At the core of the beating intellectual heart of the left-wing establishment where such things are studied with the detail of Talmudic scholars, the New Haven fire department is doing more than three times better on race than the very liberal elites who have set themselves up as its sniffy critics.
If you like verbal evisceration, read the whole thing.
Maureen Dowd is a bonus.
My college once did a production of "The Cherokee Lottery," which was all about how Indians were awesome and the white man was only good for drinking Whiskey and doing "The evil white man dance."
ReplyDeleteTheir last scene took place in a Casino where fat, stupid, white women gambled in front of the epitome of Indian perfection... a really muscular white guy pretending to be an Indian statue.
It's like the more they try to remove the splinters in our eyes, the more they trip and slam the beam further into their heads.
…And I’m sorry. No one Latin? Do they even know the make-up of our country?
