The Amy Wax “cultural distance= distinction between First and Third Worlds= distinction between whites and nonwhites” stuff is so strange. Where is the evidence that, say, immigrants from India have had encountered “cultural distance” difficulties in adapting? Or Jamaicans?

Latin America has historically been majority Catholic. The "Save Western Civ" crowd has many Evangelicals in it. They don't consider Catholics to be 'true christians'.

Don't be puzzled. It's obvious, isn't it, exactly what they mean by "Western".

When it comes down to it, the Greeks and Romans were swarthy Mediterraneans... And the Germanic tribes were the cradle of 'democracy.' ... American Proto-Nazi ideology that, until recently, seemed a relic of the late 19th century.

I attribute that to anti-Catholic bias of Protestant American culture, at least through 1980s, when Rs decided immigrants from those nations were natural conservatives.

Anti-Catholicism has historically been part of the reason (not just for Spanish but also for French-Canadians, who the New York Times described in 19th century as "the Chinese of the Americas"). But now morphed to race.
