A New Twist

Those wacky thought police are at it again. Aparently if you live in Seattle, you're considered a racist unless you're a socialist. Here's what the Seattle Board of Education is teaching their children:

Cultural Racism:
Those aspects of society that overtly and covertly attribute value and normality to white people and Whiteness, and devalue, stereotype, and label people of color as “other”, different, less than, or render them invisible. Examples of these norms include defining white skin tones as nude or flesh colored, having a future time orientation, emphasizing individualism as opposed to a more collective ideology, defining one form of English as standard, and identifying only Whites as great writers or composers.


Emphasis mine.

Words really fail me on this one. I'm going to have to chew on it a little more I think.

PS: Can anyone tell me please what the hell is "having a future time orientation"?
