Comments to Steve Sailer: Looks like Jews already joined the white/right-wing (relatively speaking) party at UCLA.
Here is the “UCLA United” slate:
I see a couple hot Jewish girls, a cute Asian girl, the very cute Miss Roth, and normal looking men.
Here is the all-minority LET’S ACT student party, running on “social justice, equity, and inclusion”
* If you’re “not into bondage, domination, and submission” you might still find fascinating the most disturbing thing I’ve ever stumbled upon on the internet, and that’s saying a lot–”race play.” It’s white supremacist S&M promoted by racial minorities, and, yes, it a real thing.
* It seems that a lot of immigration enthusiasts focus on the fact that Jews are so prosperous and are only 3% of the population. So why fear being reduced to a minority? But in every situation outside of Israel where Jews are prosperous, it’s not about their percentage of the population, but rather the white percentage.
* So those Jews who suggest that the Jews should decamp to China might need to rethink that idea, eh?
* I remember having a conversation about this with a nice elderly Jewish lady about 20 years ago and her attitude was that America should become more multiculti because then it was less likely that people would go after the Jews. I remember she leaned in and whispered this to me sotto voce like it was a Big Secret.
I didn’t bother trying to explain to her that the more non-Westerners we import, the more Jewish people will be perceived as “Western”, with the result that they will lose their outsider status and become just like the rest of white folks (nominally or otherwise.) I mean, it’s not a coincidence that Wonder Bread makes bagels, which basically are hamburger buns with holes in them.
But these are the reasons why I believe more and more Jewish people will align themselves against multiculturalism in the future, and accordingly become more conservative. I mean there’s something like 5 billion people who really don’t know or care about the difference between a Jewish person and some ordinary white person.
* American popular support for the state of Israel and for Jews generally is rooted in our Protestant traditions. It was naive for major American Jewish Organizations to assume that a multi-racial, multi-cultural America based on mass immigration from Asia and Latin America would be good for the Jews over the long-run. It’s time for American Jewish leaders to re-read Irving Krystol’s essay, “The Political Stupidity of the Jews.” And while they are at it they might consider championing the interests of the American people for a change, at least when it comes to the twin pocket-book issues of trade and immigration. Nobody speaks up for them now. If you want a friend, you need to be a friend.
* Here are a few inconvenient truths:
It is not allowed to say that Jews have control of the media or disproportionate influence in government, banking, or entertainment. This is because Jews have control of the media and disproportionate influence in government, banking, and entertainment.
It is not allowed to question black’s overall moral judgment, and it infuriates blacks when pointed out that they do not reason adequately, are impulsive, and generally disregard laws. When infuriated, they tend to become even more irrational, act out impulsively, and often break laws. This is because blacks generally lack moral judgment, self control, and do not reason at a level that allows them to understand laws.
It is foolish to allow Jews, who form groups to advocate for Jewish interests at the expense of society at large (AIPAC), to monitor and determine society’s moral compass. As a group, Jews are incapable of rendering an opinion on society at large because as a group, Jews comprehend society at large as the other. Individual Jews often escape from this mindset, but this comment refers to the group.
It is foolish to allow blacks to render moral judgments because the vast majority understand morality only on the basis of immediate interest. Some understand concrete examples such as “do not put your hand on the hot stove because when I did it, it hurt.” Very, very few blacks understand the abstractions necessary to formulate or evaluate moral questions.
* A couple of recent events offer some insight into where we may be heading. Waxman was replaced by Ted Lieu, an Asian. He ran up the middle as the other members of the diversity coalition were blocking and tackling each other. In other words, Asians seem to be benefiting from being the compromise minority, given their apolitical ethnic image.
The quick halt to the effort to repeal Proposition 209 is also emblematic. It demonstrated that Democrats as a whole, but Hispanic Democrats in particular, didn’t want to pressure Asian politicians out of their coalition. After all, do the Asians really ask for that much?
We can surmise that Jews and the rest of the Democratic Coalition will attempt to muddle through, waiting for the air to come out of the balloon that is the Lumpen end of their coalition. After all, Jews won the BDS battle of UCLA. The coverage that has followed makes it clear the wider world cares. If you were some UCLA undergrad, having your name prominently associated with these events, do you think you’re going to do better getting a career going in Los Angeles as a BDS opponent or supporter? I guess that depends on whether you want a well-paying job with good career prospects in Entertainment, Finance, Real Estate. . . . , or you’re looking to drive your father’s cab, work at his gas station, or in his gardening business.
* Diversity is like salt in a soup. A little bit makes the soup more interesting and tasty, but too much ruins the soup. And social science is pretty clear on this: high levels of diversity erode social cohesion.
Having stated that, I’d posit that diversity (even a little bit of it), depending on the type, has a different impact on social cohesion and common interests…
So, to put rather crudely, the Hispanic activist says the Old Glory is evil while the Vietnamese-American legislator and the Korean-American student are supporting the flag (it’s not an accident, of course, that Vietnamese- and Korean-Americans are the most Republican-leaning Asians in the United States).
Now, getting back to the topic of the original post above, ask yourself a question: on which side of this debate would liberal Jews (I repeat myself) fall? And what about the majority of non-Jewish whites?
Not all diversity is the same; not all diversity is ideologically compatible with the American Jewry or, for that matter, non-Jewish whites.
