    Hey BUGS:

    I have a question/request for help from BUGSers regarding how to respond Mantra wise to the follow article in a professional organization. I didn;t know where to bring it up so I ask it here.

    This is a professional journal for dentists/surgeons, so the tone must be concise and pointed—anything that sounds like a ‘rant’ will be ignored. However this call for ‘diversity’ (less whites) needs to be put down. People need to feel like that can’t just continue preaching this without being called out and challenged.

    This push is going on in every field, and it is assumed that NOBODY could possible oppose what the writer is saying.

    Any help on how to respond would be appreciated.

    SEE below:

    Falling Short in Organized Dentistry: A Call for Increased Diversity

    http://www.jcda.ca/article/d100

    This is really the same thing as saying that there are too many white people, and that whites should be diminished and pushed aside racially and politically for others. That’s wrong!! How to condemn this and shame them for their attitude???? I’m sick of seeing this everywhere.

    You can always call for MORE diversity, how come you can;t call for LESS diversity? Who is diversity bad for???

    This writer assumes he can only get brownie points for promoting white dispossession. How can I destroy this complacency??

    Thanks in advance.

    So they want white teeth but not white skin in the dentist office?

    I’ve listed a few points that you can write something up with.

    ● “Anti-racists” say we should ignore race.

    ● “Anti-racists” complain about how White areas/countries are “not diverse enough”; meanwhile, they ignore 99% Black African countries, or 99% Asian countries.

    ● The official definition of “diversity” is that the world has different groups of people, if we are too keep “diversity”, every group of people require a homeland in order to exist.

    ● If the “anti-racist” definition of “diversity” means “White areas are not diverse enough”:

    How can they call themselves anti-racist? Is that not anti-White?

    ● If the “anti-racist” goal of diversity is to get rid of White areas (therefore White people), isn’t that genocide?

    If you they say “no”, then that would mean the “diversity” of Tibet by the Chinese was not genocide either?

    Remember that you are talking to an audience and not just the person who wrote the article.

    Stupidity is stupidity – whether professional or amateur stupidity… you are talking to an audience… i would respond to them the same way as you would anyone else. Just post a mini mantra.

    In fact, when dealing with Major League Stupids – it’s more humiliating to them if you can put it in the most simple of terms.

    It is the “White Privilege” argument and we have mantras to deal with that.

    They never complain about the privilege of non-Whites in non-White countries.

    They only ever complain about the privilege of White people in White countries.

    Yes, “professional” is just a snazzy word people use in my opinion to make themselves feel or seem important. The phrase “im a professional” is used mockingly toward people who claim to be professionals in whatever field they do. So dont talk to them ANY differently than you would a carpenter.

    P.S…Professional is USUALLY a codeword for college grad…and we ALL know how SMART college graduates are lol.

    If this offends anyone I apologize in advance.

    It is the same old “White Privilege” garbage we deal with every day.

    “Anti-racists” never complain about Chinese privilege in China.
    “Anti-racists” never complain about Japanese privilege in Japan.
    “Anti-racists” never complain about Nigerian privilege in Nigeria.
    “Anti-racists” ONLY complain about White privilege in White countries.
