    Good stuff in this thread about the sources for Bret Stephens' "Ashkenazim rule, Sephardim drool" column -- which are exactly as dodgy as one would expect.https://twitter.com/DavidAstinWalsh/status/1210818768139481089 …

    Lots of folks are already dragging this horrendous column by Bret Stephens and that one of the two sources he cites in it was co-authored by a eugenicist who speaks at white supremacist conferences. https://twitter.com/nytopinion/status/1210742829095374853 …

        Stephens is the kind of author who will be vilified with derisive footnotes by historians of the future.

        We got milkshake duck for surprise but inevitable racism, is there a term for when something is as racist as it initially appears?

        A shame, because if he'd been able to resist the temptation to discredited racialist theories, he might have written an illuminating column on how certain cultural habits — e.g., encouraging family debate on religious & secular matters — promote intellectual excellence.

        In 2011, Harpending said, "The gap between ethnic groups is not closing in this country. There have been announcements that it’s closing for at least the last twenty years, usually in the New York Times, it’s not there, there’s no difference. There’s no change. Nothing changes.”

        Imagine my disappointment in not finding one negative word about Sephardim in the original column. For this you make me use up one of my free articles?
