Though multiculturalism was introduced as a way to improve the self-esteem of minorities, Stotsky presents evidence that the gap between white and minority students has widened since its introduction. She shows how many of the great achievements in American science, technology, and political life in the past 200 years are missing, just because "a story about them would call attention to a white male." In actual practice, today's multiculturalists are simply replacing one form of racism and ignorance with another.
