This behavior smacks of the modern version of what Bat Ye'or calls dhimmitude, a psychological submission to Islam that accepts one's own cultural inferiority.

If not for this acceptance of inferiority, "diversity" would not be nearly so hard to stomach. You can deal respectfully with different cultures without trashing your own. This is a lesson never understood by academia and I don't really understand why.

Yes, and 'tolerance' means putting up with something unpleasant that you don't like, not liking something that's unpleasant.
