Well, leave it to noted "race realist" Andrew Sullivan to defend Jason Richwine.


"What are liberals afraid of?" Uh, I don't know, Sully, drawing specious conclusions to justify racist policy by cloaking them in "Yeah Mr. White, yeah Science!"? See, e.g., the last 200 years or so.

The best part of Sullivan writing on this topic is his follow up. He points to a piece by Ron Unz, where Unz strongly criticizes Richwine for completely ignoring the bulk of the research that would disprove or at least seriously damage Richwine's dissertation. Then Sullivan says that that is what should be done, instead of crying "racism." But Unz's article is perhaps the best evidence that Richwine is a racist piece of crap, but Sullivan of course ignores that much.

In a development that shocks no one, "race realist" Andrew Sullivan believes that calling someone a racist is worse than being a racist, and that being called a racist is worse than having racism done against you, even if it comes with a Harvard seal of approval.

Ta-Nehisi Coates makes the best response, though, without my tendency to be such an angry cholo about it: "Forget what you mean by intelligence, what the gently caress do you mean by race?"

Hey! Want to play a game?


 Posted this in another thread but I'm putting it here too because Thomas Friedman is such a bullshit-filled dork.

Is this the real answer?

I missed this one, but yes, precariously. It depends on how dark you are, who is the mother and who is the father, and how much someone wants to delegitimize you by making you a racial other.

Spanish casta is insanely hosed up.
