Jared Taylor has a new book on white identity. I look forward to reading it.
In the highlights of his ad, he claims that only whites have a desire to transcend race. The Detroit Area Study asked people (sample size = 378): "Generally speaking, do you favor full racial separation, integration in some areas of life, or full integration of the races?"

ReplyDeleteNo barriers is not controversial. Affirmative action is controversial.
