This screed reminds me of the phony outrage over Bill Clinton's tryst with Monica expressed by people like Maureen Dowd and Chris Matthews. They were just throwing a tantrum because his behavior embarrassed them; they weren't angered at all by what he did. In fact, I'm sure they cheered his actions in private. Just like the Camera with Churchill.
"All who value ethnic studies should be angered by Churchill's suggestion and indignant by the ignominy he's brought to the field."
Well if he accomplished that it would be a wonderful contribution. I can't think of a bigger waste of resource and time than "ethnic studies". Well, OK - women's studies.
IMO universities will confer "validity" to damn near anything if enough people are willing to pay tuition to sit through a lecture on that subject. Lecture Halls aren't much different than the local cinema multiplex in that way.
