I read that article, so the credit should go to him. I've also read some similar thoughts from Thomas Sowell. I buy into the idea because I have experienced it firsthand.
Another example. Nearly every resident assistant in my dorm my sophomore year of college was gay. This was done intentionally under the guise of diversity. It struck me as ironic that in order to be diverse, we had to put a group in power that identified itself as homogeneous (no pun intended). On my floor, if we had a disagreement with our resident assistant, we were accused of being
intolerant of his lifestyle. The real issue revolved around his extreme intolerance of our ethanol imbibing lifestyle (stated that way to make you think).
