You have a real obsession with pre-Civil Rights era America. Perhaps you should analyze that because it is a fantasy.

Pre-civil rights? That's one of the most important developments of modernity.

What I mean is he seems to believe that Americans & society were somehow better & more morally upright. The data do not agree.

Why do you think so? The Better Angels of Our Nature seems to contradict this.

His Amy Wax tweets, the implications of his tweets re: modernity, & his general tone when it comes to college students today.

Amy Wax tweets? Many people worried abt college students today. They seem to want to take us back to racial segregation & female fragility

First - I've never met a college student that is for either of those things. Second - we still live in a largely racially segregated society

Racism still exists, yes, but I don't see how normalising racial segregation will help that.
