Steve Sailer writes<\/a>: It\u2019s difficult for excerpts to reproduce the punch-drunk hilarity that Coulter induces in the reader as she artfully piles up the details. Here\u2019s one example that ought to sound disturbing (because it is):<\/p>\n

“In a case the New York Times described as a \u201cfamily drama involving clashes of cultures,\u201d a Brazilian woman and a Palestinian man in St. Louis murdered their own daughter because she was a \u201cwhore\u201d for \u201cgoing out with a black boy.\u201d By lucky coincidence the girl\u2019s father, Zein Isa, was a suspected terrorist, so the FBI captured the entire murder on a surveillance tape in their home\u2014in subsidized housing, naturally. (Zein could be heard on the tape boasting about how much he loved the United States because there were so many different welfare programs to game.)”<\/p>\n

But then Ann immediately follows up with the tale of the Chinese immigrant Dong Lu Chen, who beat his unfaithful wife to death with a claw hammer:<\/p>\n

“Brooklyn Supreme Court Justice Edward Pincus let Chen off with probation\u2014for murder\u2014after an anthropologist testified that, in Chinese culture, the shame of a man being cuckolded justified murder\u2026. The female head of the Asian-American Defense and Education Fund, Margaret Fung, applauded Chen\u2019s light sentence, saying that a harsher penalty would \u201cpromote the idea that when people come to America they have to give up their own way of doing things. This is an idea we cannot support.\u201d… Chen immigrated to America with his entire family when he was fifty years old\u2014fifteen years away from collecting Social Security\u2014to be a dishwasher.”<\/p>\n

In 1980 I worked as the research assistant to the top criminal defense lawyer in Texas, Racehorse Haynes, as he was considering writing an autobiography. From his scrapbook I learned that back in the 1960s you could kind of get away with murdering a cheating spouse in Texas, so long as he or she had it coming (and you hired Racehorse to defend you). Of course, that was a long time ago.<\/p>\n

Perhaps if The New York Times were to start referring to immigrants as Extreme Texans they\u2019d find it easier to comprehend the patterns.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
