From Harvard to Denmark a feeble-minded obsession with political
correctness means acts of bigotry are celebrated as bravery

At a diplomatic reception in Beijing a few years ago, the former
president of Harvard, Larry Summers, dropped a spicy chicken wing into
the turn-up of his trousers and continued to make small talk with
finger food bobbing closer to his toes than is generally considered
decent. A man who displays such a lack of social graces and either does
not have enough friends to tell him or enough humility to listen to
them can still go far (for a woman it would be terminal).
