While he does attempt to make several valid points, his reasoning and logic are severely flawed. He begins his piece by attacking Black History Month as a month that promotes racism. This is wrong.
Clarification is needed.
Urbano is correct in saying that a person's character should be the yardstick by which we measure that person, not visible differences. He intended to argue that the establishment of organizations only dedicated to the exclusion of other races was in itself a racist practice. Most rational people would agree with this line of reasoning. Unfortunately, Urbano's column is way off the mark with the organizations that he identifies as racist. Given the ugliness of racism, I have to wonder how he managed to lump organizations such as the Cambodian Association, the Chinese Undergraduate Student Association, the Japanese Undergraduate Student Association, and so on, in with the Nazis.
