Propaganda buzz words

To the editor:
Where in the world did Melanie McCully [May 1995] get her simplistic definition of "multi-culturalism?" "Multiculturalism," "diversity" and "political correctness" are the propaganda buzz words of several powerful interests that seek to define American public policy in ways favorable to them, e.g., the leaders of big corporations, the mainstream churches, radical minorities, liberal Democrats and the leftists in academia. "Multi-culturalism" and "diversity" mean unlimited immigration of non-whites in order to keep wages low, break thelabor unions, provide more voting clout to black and Hispanic radicals, expand the whole welfare establishment, and more votes for liberal Democrats. And "political correctness" means that no white persons would dare to criticize such policies, else they are labeled as being nasty old fascists and racists.
