Meritocracy or ignorant, unabashed whining, sprinkled with

an inability to see the vast inequalities that still exist?

You be the judge. Excerpt from this person's website:

I particularly value meritocracy. I believe that more good accrues from ensuring a meritocracy than nearly anything else. 30 years ago that would have meant dismantling the ol’ white boy’s network. But alas, today, the ol’ boy network has largely been replaced by the Diversity Industry, all-powerful and hell-bent on ensuring that women and minorities get slots in colleges and employment even when less qualified. The Diversity Industry is so powerful, it has shut off dissent.

I have tried prodigiously to protest the rampant reverse discrimination, to no avail. When I write politically correct letters to the editor, they’re routinely published yet when I write to protest reverse discrimination, my letters are always censored. I’ve had 500 articles and columns published, yet when I write about reverse discrimination, the pieces are deemed unworthy of publication. I’ve written a screenplay on the topic, Affirmative Actions, which the London Daily News said was “Sure to trigger a bidding war” yet no film studio would touch it. My first five books, politically correct, have been published and critically and commercially successful, having sold over 200,000 copies. Yet, I’ve just written what I believe is my best book, the politically incorrect “The Silenced Majority,” and it’s been rejected by 27 of 27 publishers. So, I’ve been totally censored, shut out. So much for living my values. Today, it seems that’s permissible only when your values are politically correct.

Am I the only one insulted by this constant assumption that women couldn't possibly be as qualified as a man applying for the same job? Or perhaps more qualified? Or that a person of color is just being given a job because of the color of their skin, and some sort of quota needing to be fulfilled?

:mad: :grr:
