Richard Delgado is university distinguished professor of law and Derrick Bell fellow and Jean Stefancic is research professor of law and Derrick Bell scholar at the University of Pittsburgh School of Law, where they teach courses on race and civil rights.

Now, they offer us a slice of all-American thinking entitled "Let's welcome Latinos to Pittsburgh". If you thought George Bush talks like he's in the fifth grade, step back a grade or two and enjoy the racialist thinking from the cream of academia:

Pittsburgh needs more Latinos. Pious, industrious, roll-up your-sleeve immigrants from Mexico and Central America, raring to work at jobs like construction, food processing, restaurants and old age homes, save their money, send their kids to school, move up the ladder and relive the American dream...

...Latinos love working in the construction industry...

...Imagine what it would do for this region if you could remodel your house for $23,000, not $30,000; or eat a fine restaurant meal for $14, not $18; if your kids could go to a neighborhood school instead of one a mile away because the local one closed...

...Construction foremen, restaurant owners and hotel managers love Latinos, who enjoy a reputation for working hard, not complaining and showing up on time...

...In some parts of the country, every work site features Latino and non-Latino workers working together to build houses, repair roads, and make things grow. Wouldn't it be nice if Pittsburgh had more of this? [Oh! What a wonderful dream, even if it sounds like it was written by and for five-year-olds -- LW]

...Latinos, with their strong work ethic and traditional respect for elders, are the logical choice, both nationally and here.

The authors are literally race pimps, demeaning not only those of the same race as they, but other races as well. Now, let's try an alternate version of their article. Tell me what you think about this:

Pittsburgh needs more Whites. Pious, industrious, roll-up your-sleeve immigrants from Europe, raring to work at jobs like construction, food processing, restaurants and old age homes, save their money, send their kids to school, move up the ladder and relive the American dream...

...Construction foremen, restaurant owners and hotel managers love Whites, who enjoy a reputation for working hard, not complaining and showing up on time...

...Whites, with their strong work ethic and traditional respect for elders, are the logical choice, both nationally and here.

Now, of course, if Richard Delgado said that he'd be a racist, now wouldn't he?
