The War on the West

by Douglas Murray

cultural institutions have bent over themselves to demonstrate their diversity. They have gone out of their way to increase their enrollment and recruitment of people who are not white. They have tried to make sure not just that minority groups are represented in every walk of life but that they are overrepresented. So that there is actually more visibility in the public eye than there is in the public as a whole. The aim has behind it a presumption that if exact representation or overrepresentation is achieved, then something great will happen. And while it is true that a society that allows its most talented people to rise as seamlessly as possible can be advantaged, there is no evidence that a society thrives by developing the racial and cultural obsessions that the West has now developed.
