naj7488: “The politically correct thing to do in response to the Cabot incident, would be to do exactly what you have done, deny that it was racism in order to not offend those poor Cabot kids and not tarnish Harvard’s pristine reputation.”

Why do I even bother debating you? I never denied that the Cabot incident was racism, I said that none of us are mind readers. It is interesting that you think my quest was to avoid offending someone. My stated intention was to be fair and not to defame anyone unjustly. Big difference.

The politically correct thing to do was clearly to jump on the bandwagon and join those who were accusing the Cabot residents of racism. Let’s not lose sight of the fact that I stand alone here in this very long discussion. It is you who are on the side of political correctness.

“The un-pc thing to do would be to admit that everyone is at least a little racist, and whether it was subconscious or not, there were racial undertones in the email conversation and the calling of the police.”

Nope. That would be the pc thing to do.
