Attacks compel people to defend.
I believe whether Scott appeared evasive or defensive is largely immaterial as the questioner made no attempt to disguise the attacking nature of the question. That particular question is completely predicated on an item of conventional wisdom that there is a hierarchy of multiculturalism that is based not on the actual differences between individuals, but between the alleged generalized differences between individuals based on their color, religion and presumed ancestry. Getting a bunch of people of different colors who all think multiculturalism means having a bunch of people of different colors is homogeneity in the most non-superficial sense. Differences in the actual content of people's character cut across all supposed categories of race and creed, silhouetting the degree of true diversity. In any case, the various opinions of what constitutes multiculturalism should take a back seat at our schools to the obvious sole criterion of who should be on the rolls - the folks that want to be there the most.
