In Merry England, the Prime Minister is Rishni Sunak, a man of Indian extraction. Until very recently, the Prime Minister of Ireland was Leo Varadkar, a gay man of partial Indian extraction. The First Minister of Scotland is Humza Yousaf, a Muslim whose parents were born in Pakistan.
Everybody happy now?
No, everybody is not happy.
ReplyDeleteHumza Yousaf in particular is on record criticizing Scotland for having way too may white people. Apparently they are something like 97%, if you can imagine such a horror!
It seems that the only indigenous people proggies can't tolerate are the ones of Britain and Europe.
Yousaf's tirade against the prevalence of white people in positions of authority - especially in a country where they make up at least 97% of the population - was one of the stupidest things I've heard in a long time. It would be like me going to Saudi Arabia and decrying the absence of Catholic cathedrals. I think it's hilarious that his new "hate" speech laws are backfiring on him (e.g., a huge volume of complaints rolled in to charge him with "hate" speech violations after he went after white people in a speech, elements of which have now gone viral).
ReplyDeleteWhatever progressivism once stood for has now unleashed an epidemic of social narcissism.
ReplyDeleteIt all began with the best intentions like the 1960s Civil Rights movement. But once you set the goal at 'integration' - by force! - you've opened pandora's box of racial (and other) narcissism.
Like the supposed gender 'wage gap' 60 years after women were given equal wages by law. If full equality/integration is the goal, then the 'fight' never ends.
I was too busy with other things in the 1960s to pay attention to American images of forced de-segregation on TV news. But now I look back at it, I'm sure lots of people, like Humza's ilk, were inspired and motivated by it, to unleash their narcissistic sense of grievance. And it was followed by the endless years of saintly praise of Nelson Mandela - which I was never moved by myself.
It's all a bit late now to talk of 'equality of opportunity' after all of this racial change by force, imposed from above. The horse has bolted.
Where does that leave us? I'm just saying there's a lot more going on than mere progressive ideals. Although it's fine to challenge the 'progressives' to live up to them, fwiw.
