Last issue, Paolo Tonelli chastised Selwyn Pieters for filing a human rights complaint on the basis that the LSAT discriminated against him on the basis of his race. Rather, he says, the issue is purely one of culture and must be defined as such. I understand the sentiment behind this argument. Race is not an adjective.
Race is relational.
It is a verb. It means black. In this apparently subtle distinction, there is a fundamental difference. Mr. Pieters never claims that he was discriminated against on the basis of his skin colour. Clearly, it is true that skin colour says absolutely nothing about one's intelligence or innate abilities.
