    I believe the expression you’re looking for is: if the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem has to look like a nail.

    “but they are not hitting the candies of the Piñatas”

    That made my day. Thanks, Citizen of the World. 🙂

    Alright, then. I will write to the ‘Standard in the next couple of weeks.

    I was originally going to do that, but decided to come on here instead because I didn’t want to make a big deal out of it.

    If PJS doesn’t want to reply on here, then I will write to the ‘Standard. Though, it would have to be for July’s ‘Standard because it’s a bit too late now to write a letter (& for PJS to write a reply) for the June edition.

    In the first quote – PJS states what Critical Race Theory argues, but doesn’t argue against it. The sentence: ‘As things stand, the system will always promote whites over more talented ethnic candidates,’ is presented as a fact – not as a group of people’s opinion.

    As for the second quote, poor white people won’t see positive discrimination in favour of other poor people as an attack on their ‘rights’ – they will see it as being unfair.

    The author doesn’t actually write that he supports positive discrimination, however, he heavily implies that he does in these quotes:

    ‘Critical race theory [. . .] argues that disadvantaged groups will never get a fair shake unless a little positive discrimination is introduced into the mix. As things stand, the system will always promote whites over more talented ethnic candidates.’

    ‘To [economically disadvantaged whites], any positive discrimination in favour of other disadvantaged groups, together with talk of ‘white privilege’, will seem like a wholesale liberal attack on their ‘rights’. Populists like Trump are experts in exploiting such concerns.’

    The kids are aged 11-16. The little drummer boy is called ‘Ice’, which is short for his Filipino name. This song really shows off their musical talent (and it’s perfect for a relaxing Sunday afternoon):

    Thanks for the socialist factoid, Adri.

    The reason why I posted Magic Moments by Perry Como on April Fools’ Day is because it’s the most played song on the radio. If you guessed that correctly, then you win a million pounds (which I will pay you after the socialist revolution). 😉
