If you haven’t seen Kathleen Parker’s Sunday column “You’ll Love Diversity — Or Else” in the Washington Post yesterday, it’s worth a read. She talks about some new radio public service announcements that are promoting diversity in housing.
We’ll be discussing this new radio campaign on this week’s podcast. Click on the “More” link to listen to one of the radio ads and let us know what you think!
Parts of her column:
Racial and ethnic diversity is the key to happiness, success in the global marketplace and, not least, an interesting life.
So we are told in a batch of new “fair housing” radio ads that are the sort of treacly propaganda that cause sober drivers to run off the road.
Presented as a celebration of the 40th anniversary of the Fair Housing Act, the ads were produced by the National Fair Housing Alliance, a private, nonprofit group whose stated purpose is to make sure the act is properly implemented. The act bans housing discrimination and imposes stiff penalties for those who get caught.
Lately, the fine intent of eliminating discrimination seems to have morphed into diversity advocacy.
