Including By Excluding
It certainly is a good thing that identity politics promotes “inclusion.” Imagine how fractured the UCLA community would be if it had only one graduation, for everybody.
Encourage the Paraplegic Latina graduation and whatever increasingly fine splintering of the student body can define their specialness. Then, when the Kite-flying Transgendered Black Male graduation conflicts with the Tattooed Latino Vegetarian graduation the reality, and consequences, of identity politics will become inescapable.
