John McWhorter, a conservative commentator, writes about teaching a CC section at Columbia:

The article begins:
------------------------- ---
I have been teaching a class at Columbia on Western Civilization since September.
The class is highly diverse. By that, I mean that among the 21 students there is an Orthodox Jew, a child of Russian immigrants, and a couple of Korean-Americans. Plus a Chinese-American. And one of them grew up in France; just why she has no accent I have never been quite sure, but culturally she is more French than American. One student is even seven feet tall. And Catholic.. . .
------------------------- ---
Hmm, wonder who that guy could be . . .
(The article turns into an argument against affirmative action, but you don't need to read that far if you don't want.)
