Next up on the 'Intolerable Racism' Team agenda: 'Fair Housing'

Or, as the headline writer at WaPo for this Kathleen Parker piece puts it: "You'll Love Diversity-- Or Else".

Excerpt:

"Lately, the fine intent of eliminating discrimination seems to have morphed into diversity advocacy.

Before I proceed, let me say that I prefer a world in which not everyone is the same. I like that my neighbors include a gay couple and a single mother and that several languages are spoken on my street.

But happy diversity is an organic process that results when like-minded citizens congregate around shared values and interests. Often those interests and values have evolved from racial and ethnic identities, but not necessarily. Sometimes neighbors of diverse backgrounds share affection for old houses, or window boxes, or pet-friendliness. That not all people have access to all the same housing opportunities is called life in a free-market society.

But the fair-housing folks want life to be more fair, and the ads are warming us up for some really fun social engineering"

Read the whole thing.
