Merry Solstice, sports-fans. The following is an email exchange between me and my friend Tim M. circa 1994. I still find some of Tim's insults amusing...

Tim: I read that article on "Multiculturalism: The New Racism" that you copied for me. I'm not sure where to start. I guess I didn't find it as inane as you did; just kind of alarmist and shrill in tone. I do think Multiculturalism is a topic and situation to take seriously and I think some of its credos have been accepted without the proper amount of examination and questioning.

Mun: Alarmist and shrill are good adjectives. I don't see multiculturalism as needing to be attacked. If it's an ideology, it's one of inclusion, not exclusion as the article suggests. The scenarios that writer presented were really unlikely. I've never read any multiculturalism manifesto. I thought that article was such bullshit.

Tim: Actually Multiculturalism has had a big impact on campus here and elsewhere.

Mun: I see it more as a trend than a movement. Where does the ideology come from? I think it's more a factor of groups wanting to be represented and making their voices heard than those at the top actively wanting to have those groups represented and making a multicultural policy.

Tim: On campuses and in the arts multiculturalism is well represented . Policies are changing for sure because of it--I'm sure you would say for the better, but I think much of it is debatable. Multiculturism is the norm in many ways. Anyway who wants to debate: you're just a weasly Jewish American Princess anyways.

Mun: Yeah, who wants to debate Mr. Mick Wonderbread.
