The author “Kalb argues that in current inclusiveness ideology, “classifying people” becomes an exercise of power by the classifier that denies the dignity of the person classified. All rational consideration of human reality is thereby suspended, and the result is something arbitrary and increasingly tyrannical.”

I disagree very much. But it may depend on where one lives. I live in west Texas, one of the most exclusionary places to be.

Practically everyone here is the same. Same politics (tea party), same religion (fundamentalist Protestant) they all listen to the same music one the one radio station (old country and bluegrass) and all wear the same clothing (western wear, cowboy hats and boots).

There are very few Catholics here. There is one small parish here and most of the latinoes and anglos have converted to various fundamental sects in order to fit in with the sameness.

If you are Catholic you just don’t matter.

I don’t think this is such a great thing at all.
