Tapsearch Com EditorToday's immigration idiocy, part II: Linda Chavez
June 12th 2007 23:20
I'm not going to say much about Linda Chavez's NRO article, in which she apologizes for calling many conservatives racists, and instead calls a few specific conservatives racists. I think the responses do a good job of debunking it, particularly John Derbyshire's and Heather Mac Donald's.
The point I'd like to make is this: Why do immigration proponents argue their opponents are prejudiced? Obviously, it's to tar the enemy, but let's follow it out logically. Aren't they saying "America is a bigoted society, and even many of its top intellectuals are racists. Therefore, we should bring in a bunch of minorities and see what happens!"?
