...Waite misrepresents the character of these two individuals by taking each one of their quotes completely out of context. For example, attempting to paint Dr. Counter as anti-German for opposing the screening of a film that had graphic depictions of clitoridectomies performed on young girls, a concern shared by the Black Students Association and Stephen Williams, Peabody Professor of American Archaeology and Ethnology. Never in his Black Collegian article does he say or imply that any racial groups are “mooching off” of “affirmative action benefits,” he explicitly credits...
...Also on the committee was Dr. S. Allen Counter, professor of neuroscience and director of the Harvard Foundation for Intercultural and Race Relations. Counter has had a curiously strong record for ethnic vituperation. In 1980, writing to The Crimson to protest a film screening, he played on anti-German stereotypes extensively, though no one involved was German. Counter used the same venue to vent his spleen on the Jews in 1992, in response to bad press about the Harvard Foundation from The Crimson. In the letter he blames “Crimson writers active in Hillel” for fomenting...
...when I was 6 years old, growing up in America," he once declared. As a matter of historical fact, that statement was downright bizarre. When Reagan was 6, in 1917, women and most blacks couldn't vote, and America's entry into World War I was whipping up an anti-German frenzy so vicious that some towns in Reagan's native Midwest banned the playing of Beethoven and Brahms.

...after the Civil War as freethinkers from Germany. They were speculators too, and wanted to get rich. But they also wanted to have their state defined by the ideals of the Declaration of Independence. The concept of freethinker was so specifically German, and thus it became unpopular after the Anti-German backlashes during and after WWI and WWII, when all German enthusiasms became unpopular. To survive, free thinkers became Unitarians-and then humanists. God has not made himself known to us, and thus we expect no rewards and punishments in an afterlife. In our lives, we do our best...
...flags, fanfares and festivities commemorating V-E day that we in Britain were subjected to. It is well known that the British are not particularly Euro-friendly, but if the British adult population wishes to partake in and build Europe for my generation, then surely the time for anti-German propaganda, abundant during the past few weeks, is over. Realistically, our German counterparts cannot enjoy watching Britain relive her glory in the face of so much German suffering, shame and sorrow. Victory in today's Europe is what is important, not the atrocities of the war-torn '40s. BALVEEN AJIMAL...
