    Jeet Heer Retweeted Ross Douthat

    Yes, in an increasingly diverse America, GOP chose to remain overwhelmingly white & Dems chose to become America's first genuine multi-racial mass party. Both sides to blame!https://twitter.com/DouthatNYT/status/960550315694215169 …

    It's not really that's it's underrated; it's that too many smart liberals are convinced that this ethnic polarization *only* reflects Republican choices and not their own. https://twitter.com/ezraklein/status/960544675601027073 …

        As @Atrios said, Douthat is basically a horrible person. Rod Dreher with a slightly better career filter.

        Sure, but that cuts against Ross's point even more.

        Douthat's solutions are wrong, but his critique of liberal urbanism is accurate enough to grapple with. The answer is class solidarity.https://washingtonmonthly.com/2018/02/05/the-answer-is-class-based-populism-not-racist-nationalism/ …

        Racism, sexism, homophobia, etc. are terrible problems that urgently demand our effort and determination. But there are ways to address them that don't alienate white people. But those ways aren't nearly as fun as indulging in crusading sanctimony against the deplorables, right?

        problem is that black and latino voters dared to have opinions, observations, and aspirations, and vote based on them...if they didn't vote, republicans would have no reason to be mad....

        In 2016, 76.9% of US population was white. So if the Dem party is 56% white and the GOP is 90% white, which one "looks more like America," if that's somehow the goal? Truth is, I couldn't care less. I am sick of racial politics. Sadly, the GOP seems to now be moving towards 1/
