WHAT THEY WON’T PUBLISH

28 04 2007

Having spent a lot of time in academia, at first a student, then a tutor and then a researcher, the one thing they won’t let you say is something I included in a list of JOKE definitions and it is this…

Multiculturalism = respecting the symbols, values and idiosyncrasies of all colours, creeds and religions - provided that is, that they can be co-opted into a neoliberal economic order and packaged in plastic and sold off. If it is not possible to do this then the adherents of whichever ideology it is must be considered to be “depraved opponents of civilisation itself.”

If you didn’t get what I meant by that then you should probably just go away.

If you insist on persisting then wonder where your humour gene went to. really.

Hahaha, that is great! It reminds me of Ambrose Bierce’s, The Devil’s Dictionary.
