The Racism of Diversity
by Walter Williams
(July 22, 2009)
One of the unappreciated aspects of preferential treatment, is that it runs the risk of creating racist attitudes, and possibly feelings of racial superiority, among whites and others who were formerly racially neutral.

The Equality Dogma
by Thomas Sowell
(February 19, 2004)
Some readers objected to a statement in this column that black students usually do not perform as well in school as white students or Asian American students. These readers seemed to think that this was a personal opinion -- or even an immoral statement. It never seemed to occur to them that this was a verifiable fact, shown by innumerable studies over the years by many scholars of various races.

Equality, Inequality and Fate
by Thomas Sowell
(February 18, 2004)

The Inequality Dogma

(February 17, 2004)

Egalitarianism: The New Torture Rack
by Gary Hull
(January 11, 2004)
Egalitarianism, which claims only to want an "equality" in end results, hates the exceptional man who, through his own mental effort, achieves that which others cannot. Trends in modern education reflect this egalitarian hatred of achievement. In an attempt to "dumb down" all students to the lowest common denominator, today's educators no longer promote excellence and students of superior ability. Rather, they focus on the slow and the diseased, crippling the most talented in the process.

The Racism of "Diversity"
by Peter Schwartz
(December 15, 2003)

"Diversity" For Thee, Not Me
by Thomas Sowell
(March 6, 2003)
People used to complain about "the idle rich." But the idle rich did not do the kind of harm being done by today's busybody rich, who feed their own egos by bankrolling political crusades on the left which hurt the very people that the left claims to care about -- working people, minorities, and children.

The Unjust Discrimination of Central Planning
by Ralph R. Reiland
(February 9, 2003)
Johnnie Cochran's wife, Dale Mason Cochran, hit the jackpot as a member of a victim group in 1996, the year after O.J. was found not guilty of murder. Victimhood can be rewarding.

Damaging Admissions: Increasing Faculty Diversity
by Thomas Sowell
(February 8, 2003)
Using massive amounts of data released by Ivy League colleges and others, authors Stephen Cole and Elinor Barber test many of the beliefs behind affirmative action against the facts -- and find that most of those beliefs do not fit the facts.
