The New Pariahs


The American liberal elites have become very inclusive … illegal immigrants, street protesters, metro-sexuals, rappers, Jews (in America), gay marriages, Muslims, Cubans (in Cuba), Socialists, the Shake Shack, Native Americans, gender benders … are now quite acceptable, even celebrated. However, with this redefining of the circle of inclusion, there seems no longer room for other population categories. It’s as though for every new group invited in, another group must be exiled. May I offer a few examples of these new pariahs?

- Mormons
- Southerners (particularly Texans)
- Polish -Americans
- Gun owners
- McDonalds
- Wall Street bankers
- Cubans (in America)
- Jews (in Israel)
- Football jocks
- The police
- Fundamentalist Christians
- Entrepreneurs (except in Silicon Valley)

It’s very much as though “diversity” is a zero-sum game …
