Will Bunch accidentally shows his true colors

I rarely quickly return to a subject unless it is really warranted, and with Will Bunch it is.

I had my say less than two weeks ago, but I had to return for a smaller bite today.

As many of you know, Bunch is the resident Chicken Little of the Philadelphia Inquirer, the resident bed-wetter who writes from inside his silo of very progressive beliefs.

Naturally, he is totally PC, a Lt. Colonel in the DEI Corps, and is onboard with every Leftist log that floats down the river. He is farther Left than most Democrats, even Philadelphia Democrats.

In his latest column, Bunch compares the Midwestern upbringing of vice presidential candidates JD Vance and Tim Walz.

Bunch’s topic is public education, and, naturally, he swoons at the feet of Walz. His column explains why, but I am here to make a couple of points.

First, dishonesty.

He writes Nebraska native Walz “earned GI Bill benefits that allowed him to attend a college that neither you nor I had ever heard of before this week: Chadron State College.”

“Earned GI Bill benefits,” right?

Now, Republican JD Vance “whose nearly free ride at Yale Law School forged the connections in Silicon Valley and publishing that brought him wealth and fame…..”

Just like Walz, Vance attended on the GI Bill, which Bunch “forgets” to mention. Vance got a “nearly free ride,” while Walz “earned” his GI Bill benefits. 

See what he did?

Second, racism.

Here is a direct quote: “Vance’s dark vision for higher ed would wreck the academy, slam the door on any future ‘Hillbillies’ looking to better themselves, and end all efforts at campus diversity — an odd dream for a man who met his Indian American wife at Yale.”

You know what he just did?

Good old Bunch just employed the pernicious notion — which sometimes happens when the DEI hound is on the grounds — that any minority student did not earn his or her way in, but was somehow given a boost, because they can’t be as “good” as white students. That is the dark side of DEI — the suspicion that nonwhites are “getting over.”

Bunch assumes the beautiful and talented Usha Chilukuri could not have gotten into Yale on her own merit. (He also assumes all Republicans hate people of color.)

She got her undergraduate degree from Yale, where she graduated summa cum laude, with membership in Phi Beta Kappa, before graduating from Yale Law and clerking for U.S. Supreme Court John Roberts.  She is not a lightweight.

I am certain Bunch considers himself to be an egalitarian feminist, but he just took stroll on the racism, sexism side. If this was an Olympic event, he’d take Gold/

In his case, fool’s gold.
