Diversity, North Iowa Style (by Peter Children)

(Op-ed by Peter Children)

OK lets get right to it; lets not beat around the bush. As always I am only reporting what I see, maybe some of you see the same thing differently, then again maybe some of you just want it to be something it’s really not. And just what is it I see?

I see seventeen white people on Kuhn’s election committee, all white, pure white, no African Americans, no Hispanics, no Asians only white people. Four white women and thirteen white men have all assembled to elect what has frequently been touted as “A man of the people.” What they should have said is this; “ Our candidate is a man of the white people.” Kuhn is from one of the whitest parts of Iowa; Floyd County which in itself is pure white, as white as an old fashioned Iowa blizzard. If this guy gets a seat at the table, the 37 year run of the HR department will end before it reaches 38.

It would be interesting to know just how many of his committee members have memberships to the Country Club. Not that there is anything wrong with the Country Club mind you; I wonder if those good white folk would give up that information? God help us If you’re what is commonly refereed to as a; “Astute politico”…would not diversity be on your mind? Maybe these folks don’t know people of color also vote…or maybe they’ve already factored in the minority presence as too low to be of any concern. They know what they’re doing, these white folk.

Do you think any of these seventeen have ever eaten garlic or cooked with olive oil? Maybe speak another language other than English? They probably think that eating in a Greek or Italian restaurant is like being in Europe. This is kinda like Newt Gingrich’s campaign, and we all know just where Newt is at. It’s been said that Kuhn is a Democrat; at least he was spotted at a Democratic function soliciting funds, if he is indeed a democratic you’d think he’d know the president of this country is also a democrat and an African American. I have lived here all my life, but somehow I just can’t seem to get used to it.
