A friend showed me the website of her alma mater, promoting some big diversity workshop for the students. Now this is a school with a fair amount of minority students and faculty, but every last one of the 14 faculty in charge of presentation were middle-aged to older white men in dark suits with white shirts and conservative ties and pretty much buzz cuts. They looked like peas in a pod. Yet they saw no problem in lecturing others on diversity.

Made me sick.
