So anti-PC we discriminate
Good stuff from Barbara Ellen:
Alternatively, maybe it is time to acknowledge a bizarre cultural shift. That far from being a nation of politically correct scaredy-cats, we have all gone too far in the other direction, becoming so kneejerk anti-PC that any legislation to give minorities a much-needed boost is rubbished before it is given a fair hearing. That in our quest to pooh-pooh 'positive discrimination', we have forgotten that negative discrimination, otherwise plain old discrimination, can be quite a lot worse.
Any action that legitimises negative discrimination is unacceptable and should be challenged. There is no basis — none — on which it can ever be right.
