The Washington Post brings us news of an Obama Administration report to the United Nations, confessing our “less than perfect” human rights record:
In its first-ever report to the U.N. Human Rights Council on conditions in the United States, the State Department said Monday that some Americans, notably minorities, are still victims of discrimination. Despite success in reforming such inequities as slavery and the denial of women’s right to vote, the department said, considerable progress is still needed.
The Administration report lists the daunting issues it must overcome to reach the human-rights plateau occupied by China, Saudi Arabia, Libya, and the other deeply concerned members of the U.N. Human Rights Council:
High unemployment rates, hate crime, poverty, poor housing, lack of access to health care and discriminatory hiring practices are among the challenges the report identified as affecting blacks, Latinos, Muslims, South Asians, Native Americans and gays and lesbians in the United States.
As DrewM at Ace of Spades notes, none of these things are “human rights violations.” The nature of the real violation is implied .The essential absurdity of multiculturalism is the need to drag America down until it can be treated as equal to the thug states infesting the United Nations. That’s how we end up with the Obama Administration moaning about “lack of access to health care” as a human rights violation, in a report submitted to a council that includes Saudi Arabia, where a court has ruled that a man’s spinal cord can be severed as punishment
