The Color of the Country
March 26, 2012, New York Times: The Renegade Republicans, by THOMAS B. EDSALL
"...the color of this country will be quite different and much better soon."
Strange thing to say. Of the world's some 200 sovereign countries, only about a score of them are prosperous and well-governed, and all of those have hefty white majorities. In fact, the minoritization of Caucasians in America will necessarily coincide with a reduction of this country's ranking to the status of, say, The Democratic Republic of the Congo, or if we are very lucky, Somalia. You do realize that the glory period of American history, when we led the world in everything, was accomplished with a demographic that was 90% white. The notion that the same sort of advancement can emerge from a multi-racial dispensation is not only rejected by large majorities here, but ignores the awful consequences visited upon every other society that has ever attempted any such thing. I speak, of course, of the love affair between:
Europeans and Indians
Russians and Poles
Germans and Jews
Czechs and Slovaks
Latvians and Russians
English and Irish
Serbs and Croats
Christians and Muslims
Moors and Spaniards
Neanderthals and true Humans
Corsicans and French
Goths and Romans
Jews and Jebusites
Australians and Australasians
Incas and Spaniards
Chinese and Vietnamese
Romans and Picts
Persians and Greeks
Arabs and
