On "Whiteness"

On Steve Sailer's blog, there is a reply to his thoughts about Nascar.

In essence, Steve is asked to acknowledgethat white people have had it too good and deserve to be questioned more.

The big thing here that is ignored, in my opinion, is the fact that crusades against "whiteness" usually hurt not the white elite, but the lower-class whites. Working class white people tend to love elite whites (by which I mean ones with the greatest political power and influence, not necessarily the wealthiest ones) because they see them as their standard-bearers, when in reality they couldn't care less.

Working class whites love Bush because he is "one of them," except that (a) he isn't, and (b) he wants to give all of their jobs to Mexicans.

I tend to think that notions such as "institutional racism" may exist, but to a much lesser extent than we are led to believe, and that the main goal of such labels are to make certain that there is always something forthe civil rights lawyers to make a living on, because the definition of "institutional racism" is so fuzzy that one can never disprove a charge of institutional racism, or that the liberals need to pass another item on their agenda to fight it.

Hey! Institutional racism is the WMDs of the left!

That is all.
