Steve Sailer and others often cite the work of Edward Telles and Vilma Ortiz, who point out in their book Generations of Exclusion that second-generation Mexican-Americans do better than their parents do in terms of assimilation, income, and education, but that afterward third- and fourth-generation Mexican-Americans do worse. For whatever reason, Mexican-Americans seem immune to the magic of the Melting Pot.

Also, to say that “all previous waves of immigrants” have assimilated to “cultural white” is absurd, as a visit to the nearest black neighborhood will demonstrate.

Data always trump theory.

2) Salem’s cognitive dissonance is interesting. On the one hand he admits that “whites” are passing as the majority culture, but a few paragraphs later invokes “whites” as the apparently enduring majority culture.

“White” certainly isn’t an ethnic group. Its a cultural group that is a fusion of the various immigrant waves that followed and conformed to the exemplar of the initial English colonists. If assimilation remains even mildly effective, Hispanics will assimilate to “cultural white” just like all previous waves of immigrants. It doesn’t really matter if the group continues to be called “white” or renames itself “cafe au lait,” what matters is the unifying asabiyyah rooted in the English colonial experience.

OTOH, if the Randolph Bourne vision has won out, American asabiyyah has collapsed and we now face a balkanized state of competing racial factions. Certainly the scheduled racial benefits accruing to all races (EXCEPT “white”) push in that direction, and are akin to the racial schedules of Apartheid era South Africa. That state of affairs can be managed for a good long time on a divide et impera basis, but it is a model incapable of further greatness, and will eventually collapse in blood.

Non-Hispanic whites are increasingly aware of the fact that they are destined to slaughter every single last non-white American (ESPECIALLY Reihan Salam) in order to avoid becoming a minority in the country their forefathers built.

I, for one, am not looking forward to it. Especially the part where we slowly torture Reihan Salam to death over a period of several years. That is going to be a horrifying and disturbing spectacle. He has my sympathy.

Republicans should be sweeping the country, but they aren’t, because of Kennedy’s immigration law. Without post-1965 immigrants bloc-voting for the Democrats, Obama never would have been elected president, and Romney would have won a bigger landslide against him in 2012 than Reagan did against Carter in 1980.

This isn’t a guess; it’s a provable fact. Obama beat Romney by less than 5 million votes in a presidential election in which about 125 million votes were cast. More than 30 million of Obama’s votes came from people who arrived under Teddy Kennedy’s immigration law; fewer than 10 million of Romney’s did.

With the media cheering the end of America and businessmen determined to keep importing cheap labor, Democrats don’t even bother hiding what they’re doing.
