Auster vs. Kevin MacDonald

Lawrence Auster comments on this Kevin MacDonald articleon VDARE.

My thoughts:

As best I understand it, Kevin MacDonald has taken the behavior of some (mostly liberal and secular) Jews in the 20th and early 21st centuries (namely, encouraging the dilution of the majority culture, e.g., through increased immigration, because it makes the culture more tolerant of minorities, including Jews - yes, Tamar Jacoby, I am talking about you), and extrapolated it back to make such behavior be the defining characteristic of Jewishness.

I haven't read MacDonald's work, so I cannot comment directly on it, but I do think that MacDonald may be the seventh type of college professor.

That is all.
