CHRCs jump the shark…again…
OR: if you like visible minorities, you’re a racist:link-icon:.
Say that again with me, one more time, for clarity. If you like visible minorities, you, sir, are a racist, and quite possibly worse than Hitler.
Jonathan Kay has an excellent article up:link-icon:, in which freespeecher BCF gets an honourable mention, about the case of paranoiacally aggrieved Health Canada employee Dr. Shiv Chopra, who filed a human rights complaint against Health Canada after his then-boss, André Lachance, began a lecture “with the declaration that — horror of horrors — ‘he liked visible minorities.’”
I think the good Reader can guess what happened from there. Dr. Chopra took “offence,” called this a “racist remark,” and filed a human rights complaint which was recently decided (no surprises here) in his favour. He was awarded a few thousand dollars, and Health Canada has no doubt had to pay hundreds of thousands more dollars in legal fees, in addition to having to pay Dr. Chopra “compensation” for the horrible act of “Racism” perpetrated by André Lachance. Who knew that it was a hate crime to express one’s enjoyment of ethnic diversity in the workplace?
I’ve been putting a lot of stuff into the “Asteroid Overdue” category these last couple of weeks. The decline of civilization, methinks, is beginning to accelerate, if it had not done so already.
