By Marcia Langton, published 21/8/2008

Germaine Greer's arguments, taken as a whole, are racist. They are also just plain wrong.

The problem with academic intawectuals is that they come loaded with post-modernist relativism and all they ever see is a reflection of their utterly self-referential selves.

This is why all they ever do is ask long winded, complicated and personal narrative laden and emotive questions and scarcely a solution in sight.

Ya see, in academia and amongst pubwic intewectools its all about the narrative. Its NEVER about the solutions. And why is that?

Because that would require judgment. They would have to take a stand. They would have make value judgements. They would have to stick their necks out and be accountable. Uh-ohh. Every relativists worst nightmare. But what they hey... thats the game.

All talk and lots of reaction.

Which is fine, but lets not pretends that its anymore than a pretence.

Isn't it amazing, how those people who are pro some particular minority group or race, are always in denial of being "racist", but are so ready to brand someone not in their particular clique as "racist". When you can produce a cogent argument without name calling, we will be prepared to listen to you. Until then, just go back to your ivory tower and write some more drivel, to entertain your non-racist friends.

Aboriginal Australia has Langton,
White Australia has Greer.

They are so much alike.

Perhaps a reading of

might throw some more light on where Germaine Greer is coming from.
