Letter to the editor

TenPercent must rethink meaning of
“˜inclusive’

I would like to congratulate the editorship of the 25th
anniversary edition of UCLA’s TenPercent newsmagazine.

The goal was accomplished of creating the most
“diverse” issue to date, completely eradicating any
trace of the gay white male.

It’s an oxymoron to call the gay white males the
“normative queer,” but nonetheless TenPercent was
redirected in such a way that all but the “most
radical” and “most oppressed” find themselves
completely obliterated from the print after 25 years.

Why such an exclusive, alienating tactic for such a supposedly
“inclusive” magazine?
