Reading the New York Times is almost sickening. Thus I do it only once a week, on Sundays when we get the paper to do the crossword puzzle in the magazine. But sometimes, usually during breakfast the next day, I glance at the hysterically liberal attempts at news reporting that fill its pages and I'm always sorry.
Today I read an article about how the sport of skiing is "too white." The mountains must diversify! How to get more "people of color" to the slopes is now a big deal among lefty lunatics taking a break from trashing Trump.
To entice more low-income and non-skiers, especially "brown and black people," many resorts are lowering their prices for their day and yearlong passes. They worry about looking "racist." Could it be that the cost of buying skis and all the rest of the gear --the boots, the poles, the goggles, the snow pants -- and then getting to the mountains, especially if you don't have a car and have to fly -- is prohibitive to many people regardless of color?
It's funny that 78% of NBA players are black but nobody seems to mind, including the editors at the Times who rarely, if ever, report on that phenomenon staring us all in the face. The team owners, and even most of the fans, insist that blacks are simply better basketball players.
