Well, Steyn has written at least one article whose title contains a racial slur: “Europeans are worse than cockroaches” published in The Spectator in November 2003. That makes him a racist in my book.

Derbyshire’s numbers suggest that at some point not far away, every school board in America will have to factor in bilingual education programs and ever swelling special ed budgets, making one of the highest cost-per-pupil/lowest scores-per-pupil education systems even more expensive and even less educational.

Clearly the ‘special ed’ reference sets liberal panties in a bunch. But as Steyn makes perfectly clear, this is in reference to the Derbyshire article which probably shows that along with increases in Hispanic enrollment and ESL classes, there is an increase in Special Education enrollment as well, hence the statement. I can’t find the original Derbyshire article though, so if anyone else can, please post. Special Education encompasses quite a bit these days. It used to be just straight retarded kids, but now it’s people with any number of ‘disabilities’, which are probably more prevelant in lower income brackets as they’ve always been, but weren’t considered ‘Special’. I doubt the nuance matters much to Harrowell though.

No you twit, they defend the idea that some people have inherent advantages due to class, race and gender and correct for that.

Martin, your simply repeating what Sebastian stated to a tee. Why? You don’t make up for past grievances by simply repeating them.

You cannot be colourblind in a racist society.

Strange to see this as the definition–it would include almost all Democrats. They regularly defend the idea that college admissions ought to be made with a huge racial component.

Not to mention being totally ignorant of what it actually costs to educate an immigrant versus a native-born American.

Worse yet, it doesn’t seem to have occurred to Scott that he might be talking to a “Hispanic” from New York who is not at all happy at having his family’s presence in America called less “natural” than somebody else’s, like, say, Dwight Eisenhower’s. Or his own. But those Hispanics, you know, they all need special education and couldn’t possibly be commenting at a place like AFOE.

I might as well stop referring to him in the third person for the conclusion.

Scott, you’re a racist buffoon. See evidence above.

Hasta siempre.
