Paranoia

The author and sole employee of this blog would like to state, for the record, that she is not opposed to people from Pakistan or any other Middle East countries in any shape or form. Nor is she opposed to people of non-Caucasian races. She is not even entirely opposed to small liberal arts colleges, although she encourages parents and kids to base their decisions on something more substantial than a cool brochure, ivy-covered walls, and a beautiful lake view from every window. She is, however, opposed to religious fundamentalism, men ruling the roost, and such practices as female genital mutilation. And if that cabdriver had been named Paul McCall or Owen Bowen, she would have found that amusing as well.

The author would also like to hear your thoughts on your understanding of the term "cultural sensitivity," especially if you, like she, did the small liberal arts college thing. If you'd like to see what it is not, go to the forums on this page.

Back to you in the newsroom.
