Dear Editor: In response to my friend Doug Collins. Doug, | don’t think it will come to you aS a surprise when I say that you are perceived by many, in- cluding myself, as an ultra conser- vative. However, after Voltaire, I'll fight for your right to free ex- pression of opinion. You are also seen as a racist, preaching in a more or less in- volute manner, the unquestionable superiority of the white race, especially of a segment of it, which to knowledgeable anthropologists ig a sheer nonsense cooked up dur- ing the last century to justify European colonialism. When a few months ago I started reading your column I en- re Then in the Canadian mosaic there is the ethnic aspect (often mistakenly referred to as racial), that you find discomforting. Educated as you are, you know how much we owe to the ‘inferior races.’’ Our forefathers still fived in caves and in virgin forest clearings when those ‘‘ethnics’’ developed high culture in Egypt, China, Babylon, Greece. Then Arabs with their cultural centres of Baghdad, Damascus and Cordoba helped to civilize the medieval Europe. We the ‘ethnic’? components of Canada are the descendents of peoples who produced Ham- murabi, Homer, Ptolemy, Dante, Copernicus, Beethoven etc. Knowing you are a good Chris- resignation the fact that being de- scendents of Adam and Eve we are all cousins. However if you reject that un- pleasant idea, you will have to ac- cept the fact that due to centuries of migrations and uncontrolled crossbreeding, far from being pure of race — oh horrors — we are all mongrels! In our blood we may find ingredients of Celtic, Phoeni- cian, Berber, Viking, Tartar and many other exotic clements which | am afraid to specify. But cheer up Doug, your (and our) worry may soon end. If Ron Reagan has his way, in near future millions of us will enter eternity as a result of a limited nuclear war with unlimited blessings.
