Dear Residents of Whoville

National Review:

By now, you’ve probably noticed that the various gifts and decorations you associate with your holiday have been removed during the night.

 

I don’t expect that this discovery has made you “happy” — whatever that word may mean to you in your privileged taxonomy — and you may regret the lack of “Christmas spirit” that is now evident in Whoville, but I assure you that, from my vantage point, here atop what you all call, with utter disregard for my pain, “Grinch Mountain,” this day is just the beginning.

 

I have been “othered.” I have been mocked and ignored. I have been forced to live in red-lined areas of the community. I have been slandered and slurred and libeled and smeared. I have been treated, quite simply, the way one might treat a “monster.”

 

The hate ends now. It ends today.

 

(Snip)

 

1. I insist on a more proportional representation in your legislative body;

 

2. Your schools and universities will now include “Grinch Awareness” modules in each of their curricula, including workshops and privilege-sensitivity training for faculty;

 

3. The immediate termination of the event planner who neglected to provide the appropriate chair, all those years ago.

 

Please note that these demands are not negotiable. The time for “debate” and “discussion” is long past.
