Whose fault is that, Cudjoe?

THE EDITOR: Please allow me some space in your newspaper to air my views on Professor Selwyn Cudjoe. He said that race should be a criteria  for admission into UWI, because as it stands the ethnic ratio consists of about 80 percent Indian and ten percent Afro. I would like to ask Cudjoe whose fault is that?  His statement is racial and I think he should be reprimanded for making it. Academic qualifications should be the only criteria to enter UWI. He should look at the ethnic ratio in the army and police and the civil service before he makes such volatile suggestions.

He should also investigate the ethnic ratio of Trini students studying abroad, especially in America. Maybe we should demand of the US that race be a criteria for Trinidadian students to get into a US University, especially with regards to athletic scholarships. Frankly, I am getting really fed up of people like Cudjoe and Abu Bakr picking on Indians. It certainly scares me.
