If I could point to one article in the media that illustrates why Youth for Western Civilization exists, this article in The New York Times about multiracial students and affirmative action on college campuses would probably be it.
Just read this article and you will understand why our organization is considered such a threat to the status quo. It manages to hit upon every single one of our trademark themes: liberal control of college campuses, political correctness, immigration, multiculturalism, affirmative action, and the mindless pursuit of diversity above excellence.
To summarize: there is a racial pecking order of political correctness on college campuses in America today. Far from being a relic of our "racist" past, skin color determines who gets into elite colleges and who gets rejection letters in the mail. It determines to liberal admission officers whether you have a "better story" to tell or simply a bland one.
After reading this article, you will have a good mental image of how this process works in real life, and maybe how it affected you or someone you know who went to college:
"At that stage, a core group of five to seven bleary-eyed admissions officers will convene for debate around a rectangular laminate table strewn with coffee cups and half-eaten doughnuts as the applications of those students still under consideration are projected onto a 60-inch plasma TV screen."
ââ¬ÅFrom an academic standpoint, the qualifying records, the test scores, how many AP courses, they may all look alike,ââ¬Â said Chris Muñoz, vice president for enrollment at Rice since 2006. ââ¬ÅThatââ¬â¢s when we might go and say, ââ¬ËThis kid has a Spanish surname. Letââ¬â¢s see what he wrote about.ââ¬â¢ Right or wrong, it can make a difference.ââ¬Â
These admission officers sit around that laminated table at Rice University and play a racial card game of political correctness.
If your applicant happens to be White or Asian, you have yourself a losing hand. Black and Hispanic are higher suits. White is the lowest suit and African-American is the highest. Gay is more valuable than straight. Illegal alien is better than native.
This is where multiracials enter the picture and utterly confound liberal admission officers.
Does an Afro-Chinese student beat an Irish-Native American applicant? Does a Afro-Hispanic student have a more unique perspective than a Euro-Hispanic applicant? Does any racial hand beat an Afro-Hispanic lesbian who could possibly benefit from the DREAM Act?
Because liberal admission officers use these absurd racial criteria to judge young people on the basis of race, White and Asian students often deliberately falsify their college admission forms out of fear of rejection. They are treated as being less worthy to attend a college on the basis of their race.
Is that fair? We don't think so.
If we had it our way, this racial caste system on college campuses would be abolished. The Left would howl in protest.
