More fun with Kerri Dunn

In my earlier post 'Hey Kids! Make your own Hate Industry Rationalization!' I had a bit of fun with the Kerri Dunn untruehatecrime incident at Claremont McKenna Collega.

For a mainly more serious take on this matter, consult these posts at academic blogs: this, this, this, and this.

That last link includes the words of Ms. Dunn herself (MP3 here):

Many people responded with, well you know Professor Dunn, we've always been taught that we should be racially blind, and that by not paying attention to it and not calling attention to differences we would minimize them. You know, that's a beautiful, beautiful, explanation... or should I say, um… all right, piece of shit...

(Applause)

It has absolutely no substance and no utility in society wherein we are founded on diversity. The Statue of Liberty stands every day of all of our lives theoretically welcoming people to this land to become part of us. So to say that we should act like we're color blind I really believe is an excuse. I believe it's an excuse to remain lazy, it's an excuse to turn your head. And it's an excuse to allow these idiots to continue with their agenda.

(Applause)

And I just, you know, I want to end this by saying as a group, we stand here, and we say we're pro-diversity and anti-hate (applause) and that the people who espouse these hateful ideologies, really, I said earlier today should go underground. What I meant is that they should go to hell.

God help us if she ever becomes a dictator or something.

This post has a bit of fun with it too.
