On the other hand, the ideological reasons many have for keeping it are 
as bad, or worse. There was even some clown a while back teaching 
"diversity" at colleges, who had the gall to claim that you couldn't 
expect Black people to be on time, because there was something inherent 
in the "race" that made them always late, so you had to "work around" 
this issue, if you wanted to properly deal with and implement 
"diversity". He was a) also black, and b) completely serious about it, 
and had a whole host of other "traits" he tried to claim other people 
have, based on their race, and you had to adjust schedules, rules, 
policies, etc., not to be inclusive of different ideas (what most people 
call "diversity" in businesses, and which can sometimes be just as 
stupid), but different "races".

As far as I know, the bozo is still wandering around the country side 
babbling this BS at colleges.
